Oh, my god, Nuri. Unless a food is specifically poisonous to an animal (which I don’t believe the potato is to tortoise), a bite or two is not a “Call the Whaaaambulance” event.

Well sambot, then tell iona to stop feeding her tortoise such unhealthy food for him. Cana tortoise find mashed potato in the wild? No, right? So there you go, no potato for Mr. Tortersons.
Tortoises are ubercute, but even when they learn to live with us they are wild animals with a delicate system. Even lettuce is not quite good for them.
Please, please, PLEASE anyone who owns or plans to own a tortoise check with an expert (and no, your vet probably isn’t unless s/he is proficient with reptiles). I suggest:
http://www.tlady.clara.net/id16.htm
http://www.tortoise.org/
http://www.tortoisetrust.org/
http://www.carecentre.org.za/
All these sites belong to people who’s been working with tortoises for years, and they’re always willing to give you useful advice on how to rear a healthy, happy tortoise.

I don’t know why I find this so cute but I do!!! Maybe ’cause itty turtle is so happy at so much food, or because he seems so determined to finish it all!

This is a tortoise, not a turtle. Turtles have flippers and live in the sea. Tortoises have feet and live on the land.
