Hi, I've got two baby cherry head tortoises about four months old (see more about them in my introduction thread). They eat all kinds of things - things I've tried with them and they've eaten include: broccoli leaves, cabbage, different types of lettuce, tomatoes but not very much, bananas, grass, dandelion leaves, carrots, strawberries, cucumber, mango (only a little bit because I think it might be too sugary), mushrooms, clover, mizuri, and a bunch of other stuff I don't remember! We try to give them a really wide variety of foods and we always research beforehand and if we're unsure we don't give them an amount that could hurt them. One thing I'm unsure of though is Kimodo pellets. The pellets are for tortoises (it specifies European tortoises). A link to the food on it's website is here. The pet shop did recommend the food to us based on our tortoise species however I can't find much online about this. We've fed both of our tortoises these pellets in small amounts and they seem to absolutely love them. Once they've absorbed the water, they're squishy and easy to chew with their tiny mouths. They're really easy to prepare too.
Basically I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about these Kimodo pellets (dandelion or otherwise) and how good they are for a tortoise, how much I should feed them to the tortoises, how often I should feed them. If they're completely safe it would be super handy to be able to feed them just the pellets and maybe a few pieces of leafy vegetables when I'm in a hurry or something!
Just looking for any information or advice anyone can give me! Many thanks.
