I don't think we can replicate the natural diet unless we actually live there we all know how quickly our garden plants,grass etc will die if we don't water them if we do have a dry spell well doesn't the med etc have a 'dry spell' most of the summer.

Exactly, my weeds do dry up at the end of July, I then feed flowers, which tortoises would do in the wild:0)
I would never feed pellet foods, as it goes against my way of keeping tortoises. I also rarely feed salad foods either, as I have enough weeds and flowers not too:0)
I try to feed with the seasons, so in August tortoises rarely get fed anything other than what they can find:0)
They have had more rain in the south of france than we have:0)
