One of the first commercially prepared food i bought was timothy cubes. Made for hamsters i felt if i could get elvis to eat them, it would a good fiberous addition to his food rotation. I knew, based on my reading hereit was a longshot and i was right. Wouldnt touch it. But i still added them by grounding them and sprinkling the powder on his greens. Well, today i tried giving him a whole hydrated cube....
Finally!

That's a pretty good idea, hadn't thought of that one, keep updating!
No never thought of using hamster timothy cubes.
Our feed stores up here sell 25kg bags of cubed timothy, for
horses, I wonder whats in them. I fed them to our horses a few years
ago when feed was in short supply. Didn't have leopard torts
back then, I'll have to check these cubes out.

I havent tried the cubes again since this post. But it is coming around on the rotation and will soon. Keep in mind elvis is around a year old and have read older torts accept dried grasses more easily. Even if he rejects rhe whole cube next time, i will continue to grind them up and sprinkle on food daily. This works particularly well on wet food like squash and pumpkin.
I like the close-up pics ;D It looks like he's enjoying it.
