They consume a variety of plants, including herbs, flowers, fruits and green leafy vegetation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reproduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reproduction of these tortoises generally occurs in the spring and early summer. Females lay eggs in nests dug in the ground. After incubation, hatchlings emerge and are independent from birth.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that some subspecies of Testudo hermanni are endangered due to habitat loss and illegal capture for the pet trade.
