I try to grow enough weeds in my pens for my stars to not need supplemental feedings, which means I've tried a ton of different seeds and seed mixes. So far, without a doubt, the Chicory seeds from the "Dirty Gardner" has been incredible.
Once thrown in the pens I have sprouting overnight, and within a week its a jungle in there. I forgot to water the sprouts for a couple days and they still grew no problem. The seeds are non-GMO and are not inoculated as well. Best of all, the torts DEVOUR the leaves. A 5 lb bag will probably last you forever, unless you have 20 stars, or maybe 1 sulcata.

Here is a pic of the sprouting overnight (tossed seeds in at 6pm, took picture @ 8am next morning)
Here is a patch after 1 week. Some clover/testudo mix was growing there b/f but the majority is the chicory.
