Feed free choice and change daily. Moisten pellets with water to stimulate feeding behavior and create a flavorful mash that tortoises love. Many tortoises enjoy lettuce; however diets made of mostly lettuce are unnaturally high in protein and low in fiber. If your tortoise will only eat lettuce, thoroughly mix small amounts of lettuce into moistened Natural Grassland Tortoise Food. Slowly reduce the amount of lettuce offered at each feeding until your tortoise has switched to Natural Grassland Tortoise Food. Always provide clean drinking water (use Zoo Med's Repti Safe water conditioner to treat tap water). Store unused food in a cool, dry area.

This is great food and easy to use. Our tortoise was used to lettuce snd broccoli because we had just gotten him snd didnt know any better. After doing some research online we found this product and read the directions on how to transition our tortoise over to it. Worked great!

I add a little water to this product because they are a little too big for my little guy.

Zoomed Grassland pellets are an excellent source of many essential vitamins and minerals for tortoises. Most non-grass eating species may not consume them eagerly but they can be crumbled up and sprinkled onto their food a couple of times a week.

My Leopard and Sulcata tort love this stuff. We still soak it a bit since they are young and can't seem to break it up dry. But they eat every bite.
