My Mediterranean herman girls live this stuff. I use in the winter months after they have hibernated as an extra boost to their diet . .

I’m guessing it’s a good supplement to his diet, seems to like it especially if I dampen them a little first

Great feed for my desert tortoise! When it was little, I soaked it for a few minutes to make them soft. I’ve gone through several orders of this feed.

My spur thigh tortoises love this food. If yours don’t at first they will. I soak the pellets in a little water for a minute then they are soft enough for them to eat. They gobbled it up in no time.

My 4 year old sulcata tortoise loves these treats! He won't eat them dry, so I have to add warm water and calcium powder, but they're his favorite snack! We put it on subscription so they come once a month, but the nutrients keep him going! Great value for the size too!

Not much else to say... I wish the price was a little lower but My tortoise absolutely loves this food so she gets it as a treat to break up the plain stuff everyone once on awhile.

I tried Mazuri first but my Desert Tortoise didn’t care for it. The pellets took a long time to soak in water and I could only get my tortoise to eat it if it stuck to his other food, fresh greens. Then, after doing some research, I decided to give this food a try. He eat it willingly right away and it’s a lot easier to prepare. 5-10 mins in a cup of water to soften it and it’s ready to go. It’s got quality ingredients, it’s convenient in lieu of buying fresh greens and very affordable. For anyone having trouble feeding it to their tortoise, soften it well and mix it in gradually. I was lucky to get mine to switch cold turkey but that’s part luck and probably because I didn’t offer food for a few days to entice his appetite. I’d highly recommend giving this product a try. It’s sold in smaller quantities for around $10 at Petco and PetSmart to test it out first.

I've got 2 baby sulcata tortoises and I wanted to give them some grass fiber in their diet as a bulk ingredient. The pellets are really big and super hard, but all you have to do is put them in a shallow dish and soak them in a layer of water for 20 minutes or so. When you come back, they're expanded, fluffy and damp. Just crumble the now-puffed pellets into a dish to dry again and you can use the pellet powder to add to their food.I typically dice up cactus (nopales) with a little pumpkin, squash, fruit, or edible flowers and add in plenty of the grass pellet crumbles. The tortoises LOVE it! It smells sweet and wonderfully grassy like alfalfa, hay, and Bermuda grass (which is exactly what these pellets are made of).The baby tortoises eat plenty of this stuff and they're happy, healthy, active, and make bulky, healthy little turds. No constipation or mushy poops for these guys. (Might be TMI, but for a reptile owner, the pops of your critters is an important indicator of health.)I'm a lifetime customer for sure! My sulcatas love it and so do I!

I have two pancake tortoises (Merry and Pippin). For the first couple years I had them, I fed them mixtures of deep leafy greens--e.g. kale, collard greens, dandelion greens, etc. However, I noticed that their poop wasn't always solid or frequent. The container for this food categorizes pancake tortoises as grassland tortoises, so I chose this food from the line of Zoo Med tortoise food products.At first, I just mixed this food in with their greens because I was unsure if I could get them to move away from eating leafy things. I also sprinkled a calcium supplement on the food. Almost immediately, I could tell that their pooping quality had improved. However, after a few years of that, I noticed some pyramiding on one of my tortoises (Pippin). Once I noticed that, I decided to fully convert them to this food because it is especially balanced for their nutritional needs. The container recommends gradually mixing increasing amounts of this food with greens to switch them over. Since I had been mixing it with their greens for a while, I just went ahead and switched. To my surprise, they gobble this up as eagerly as the greens. I also sprinkle a calcium supplement (Zoo Med) and multivitamin (Rep-Cal Herptivite) on it. I switched them over at the beginning of the year, and Pippin's shell looks slightly improved. She is still pretty small, so I'm hoping she will grow out of the pyramiding as she continues to eat this food blend.Overall, it's pretty easy to prepare. I typically do a 1:1 ratio of water to pellets and let it sit for 5-10 minutes as I'm getting ready in the morning. Originally, I was putting the food in a plastic reptile food dish. Because this blend has a bit higher water content, it would sometimes develop some fuzzy mold if it was left in the enclosure for more than a day. I swapped out my dish for a basic terra cotta flower pot dish and that works much better. It's still best to change out the food every day (because it dries out eventually), but now it doesn't mold since the terra cotta dish absorbs some of the water.
