I got it, my little baby

rabbit pellets are to high in protein for most tortoises, also they mold easily, and they tend to keep the enclosure very very dry.

I used to use alfalfa pellets all the time in the olden days. In my experience the tortoise never ate the pellets, however, it is too dry a substrate for healthy growth. Also, its hard for little babies to walk on it and might cause leg problems.
