What's the take on Grub Bag Tortoises Herbivore Blend Treats for my star Tojo?
Im in India and I see it available on distausa.com which delivers here.
Or would u suggest any other grassmix?
What about timothy hay chunks? https://amzn.in/d/8yPI0qI
They can also help in keeping the beak trimmed.
Tojo refuses to eat any grass or flower ..literally spits it out if mixed with othr greens.

Darker yellow urine can indicate that your tortoise is not well-hydrated. Do you soak it once a day for 20-30 minutes? If not, I would suggest doing so.

Also you can feed it a diet high in water content. Lettuces, green and yellow squashes, cucumbers, and opuntia cactus pads are all very high in water content (88%-96%) and should be helpful as well.

Oh yes, Tojo is soaking well for 20 mins at least..with a lil fuss. But I really don't see him drinking from water plate in his enclosure.
I ve made note of food items...thank you so much for replying.
