Can baby tortoises eat this?

Answer by ChewyJun 07, 2024
If you have a baby tortoise, I would recommend looking at their Natural Grassland tortoise crumbles which are smaller pieces for young and small tortoises to eat.

is this suitable for a Red-foot tortoise?

Answer by ChewyOct 24, 2021
The Grassland tortoise food can be fed to a redfoot tortoise. However we recommend the Zoo Med Natural Forest Tortoise Food that would be more appropriate for a redfoot tortoise.

I’m trying to find something my sulcata tortoise will eat besides romaine lettuce. Will they eat this ? Need to find something else for Carl to eat. He’s eating 6-8 heads of lettuce a day right now.

I was apprehensive about placing an order again after issues in the past but I am glad I gave Chewy a chance again! We have had a drought and I needed to supplement food for some special needs tortoises we have. I prefer ZooMed grassland feed since it is lower in protein which is better for the Sulcatas. I was able to order the 50lb. bag we needed. The price was reasonable, it arrived very fast, and was well packaged. Happy tortoises = happy tortoise mom. Thanks Chewy!

Tortoise did not eat

I decided to try this pellet for weekends we are out of town so I am able to leave food that won't spoil as quickly for our tortoise. So far she has not shown any interest in it, although she has enthusiastically eaten a different brand of pellets in the past. I'm sure it is just fine for those that will eat it, but it was not a success for us.

Tortoise prefers this

This is the only dried food that my tortoise will eat. Be sure to moisten it first. He snaps all the other foods and this one he just gobbles up. Good product

Product was fresh.

From other suppliers when I order in the spring the product is old and from last season. This produce was fresh. My tortoises wont eat year old food.
