I have 3 Sulcata tortoises. all 3 are about 13" straight carapace length.
right now their diet consists mostly of free choice alfalfa hay and Bermuda grass hay. they also get prickly pear cactus pads every once in a while.
we just built a new house and moved. I eventually plan on planting some weeds and grasses for them but its not going to be right away. (there are several things that need done around our new 10 acre property for the other animals as well as the tortoises so we are very busy right now) when I have time, I plan on setting it up where I can plant everything on one side of their large outdoor enclosure (their enclosure is about 2,000 square feet) and have a partition wall set up so I can regulate when they have access to the plants (that way I can actually keep the plants alive) we live in the desert of southern AZ so its hard enough to grow plants and keep them alive even without tortoises demolishing them.
until then I want to add some Mazuri pellets back into their diet. I used to give them Mazuri but I just never bought another bag after the last one ran out last year. which Mazuri formula would be the best one for me to get? I have used both types in the past. they liked the taste of the original formula a little more but they had no problems eating either one before.
