My tortoise, Oswald, is a 1 year old Leopard tortoise. He is very good about eating almost anything I give him (the only thing he wouldn't eat was Mazuri). Recently I tried to give him some timothy and orchard hay mix. He tries to eat it but he can't bite through it. Is this because he is too young to eat the dried stuff?

I chop orchard grass hay up, and soak it in water. Timothy is tougher, so I don't use it. At 1 year, I would not expect him to eat much hay.
