Just wondering,if my tortoise is not accustomed to eating hay and dry grasses, what kind of vegetables can I give it as a daily staple. Opinions please!

These guys can be very finicky eaters, especially when young. Having a diet rich with the proper ratios of phosphorus and calcium is very important. How old is the tortoise?

Not sure of age but it's 3 inches long

I don't really know a great deal about this species since I've never kept it but here are a few good care sheets you should definitely read up on.
