Any tips on how to get my sulcata to eat hay and pellets?

[ButtonSulcata]

My tortoise will not touch hay with a ten foot pole I’ve tried rubbing his favorite fruit on it (strawberry) and it’s always in the cage but he never eats it I even tried mazuri pellets to get him to have a proper diet but he just won’t touch it. The only way I can get him to eat grass is if it’s fresh any tips on how to get him to eat hay and pellets?

How old/big is he?
Hay is to hard for little ones to eat dry. Chop it up fine and soak in water for a bit before feeding. Or wait till he is bigger.
As for the mazuri, soak it too mush and give just a little bit on his favorite green/weed. As he starts to eat it add more each time. .

Anything new must be introduced slowly in small amounts at first.
