You can combine it with other greens in a rotation. With only one animal to feed, I’d purchase one head of that and one head or bunch of something else and feed them both until they’re gone, then purchase two different types of greens and feed them both until they’re gone, and so forth.
It varies depending on what I can find: Pansy, Dandelion, Sedum, Campanula, Romaine Lettuce, Plantain, Little Gem Lettuce, Pre Alpin, Water Cress, Bitter Cress, and Florette salad mix sans iceberg.
Lettuce has both positive and negative attributes.
For
It contains nothing but water that is useful to a tortoise, and thus helps keep them hydrated in hot weather. However, it should be used in conjunction with a varied diet. Not completely satiated.
Against
It’s junk food for tortoises, highly addictive, and devoid of nutritional value. When tortoises have been fed exclusively this for years, it is extremely difficult to wean them.
