Dill

Greek Tortoise

Testudo graeca

The Tortoise Table rates Dill orange/moderate, supporting occasional use for this Mediterranean herbivore. Tortoise Trust emphasizes dietary variety and fiber; dill can contribute variety but should not displace higher-fiber, better Ca:P ratio staples.

Yellow-bellied Slider

Trachemys scripta scripta

The Tortoise Table rates Dill orange/moderate, supporting cautious occasional use. Yellow-bellied Sliders follow a similar dietary pattern to Red-eared Sliders per Tortoise Trust aquatic turtle guidelines, and dill can contribute variety to the plant component in moderation.

Hermann's Tortoise

Testudo hermanni

The Tortoise Table rates Dill as orange/moderate, making it suitable for occasional inclusion in the diet of this Mediterranean species. It should complement, not replace, higher-quality staple foods such as dandelion and plantain.

Red-eared Slider

Trachemys scripta elegans

The Tortoise Table rates Dill orange/moderate; Tortoise Trust supports aquatic turtles consuming varied salad greens freely. Dill can be offered occasionally as part of the plant component, particularly for adult sliders where vegetables make up 75% of the diet.

Sulcata Tortoise

Centrochelys sulcata

The Tortoise Table rates Dill orange/moderate; ReptiFiles confirms herbs like cilantro are acceptable for Sulcata in limited amounts. Dill is not a grass substitute and should remain a minor dietary accent given this species' extreme high-fiber, grass-heavy requirements.

Eastern Box Turtle

Terrapene carolina

The Tortoise Table rates Dill orange/moderate, supporting occasional use as a herb for this omnivore. ReptiFiles confirms Eastern Box Turtles consume varied plant matter; dill can add dietary variety but should not displace more nutritionally complete leafy greens.

Russian Tortoise

Agrionemys horsfieldii

The Tortoise Table rates Dill as orange/moderate, indicating it can be offered occasionally but should not form a dietary staple. ReptiFiles lists cilantro and similar herbs as acceptable for Russian Tortoises, supporting dill as a reasonable occasional herb.

Red-footed Tortoise

Chelonoidis carbonarius

The Tortoise Table rates Dill orange/moderate, supporting occasional feeding for this omnivorous tortoise. As an omnivore, Red-footed Tortoises tolerate dietary variety well, and dill can serve as a palatable herb accent within the 60% leafy green component.
