You can do it any way you like. Many ways work. I prefer to give them a plate of it twice a week, and then soak them after since it is so messy. In the past I used to mix it in with greens.

As long as your tortoise is getting a varied diet and the right foods, daily soaks, and the correct temperatures, you should feed it as much as it wants to eat daily.

Here is what I mean by the "right" foods:

It doesn't last long once its wet. I wouldn't want to feed it cold, and I wouldn't want it sitting out warming up either.

Best to mix up the amount you need and use it then and there. For a small baby, one pellet might be enough. I soak mine in warm water and it only takes a few minutes to turn to mush. Also, don't use more water than you need. Pouring off excess water will pour away some of your water soluble nutrients with it.
