TORTOISE HUSBANDRY
You should direct people who ask for information about tortoise husbandry to contact the nearest chapter of an organization such as the National Turtle and Tortoise Society of Phoenix, California Turtle and Tortoise Club, Reno Tur-Toise Club, or the Tortoise Group in Nevada. Members have expertise on such subjects as backyard plants that are poisonous to tortoises; plants, grasses, and vegetables appropriate for feeding the captives; and information on how to care for the captive during hibernation. See Organizations With Expertise On Desert Tortoises for more information.
