i have mazuri diet LS and my tort doesn’t really like it... I see multi colored pellets that look interesting, anything else I can give him as far as a food?

What is the LS anyway? I only got it because it said for smaller torts

From what Ive read here on the Forum, many torts just don't like the LS version... (I'm guessing LS = Low Starch) Try getting and using the regular, just soak in warm water for a few seconds .and feed a pellet or two along with standard weeds n greens. Not sure how big your tort is?

One Mazuri (original formula) Nugget per serving two or three times a week with his greens for a baby tort...

None of them like the LS. Get the regular Mazuri and soak it.

I wouldn't recommend the dreaded "fruity pebbles" tortoise food.

Got the LS to try out and now I am mixing it with the regular Mazuri he is eating it. I mix the LS into the ZooMed tortoise Grassland too so I can get rid of it .

That's what I did too. Someone gave me a bunch of LS to try and none of mine would eat it. Once it was mixed in with the regular stuff they ate it just fine.
