Found these pellets in india. Well by my reach and budget. Please tell me if this will work as treat for my Tojo who is now 1+ year old. I give such treats once or twice in week.
Also, I have relative coming from USA...I plan to call for some pellets from there. I'd do that only if above mentioned pellets don't work. And which will be best product from USA?

The info about diet causing pyramiding in the first paragraph is wrong. Pyramiding is caused by growth in conditions that are too dry. Prevent pyramiding by raising babies in warm humid large closed chambers and soaking daily.

The food doesn't look terrible, but the protein level is so low that the animal would suffer if you fed only this food. Used once or trice a week as a supplement, it is probably okay. I can only guess because I have no first hand experience using this food.

From the states I would get original Mazuri 5M21, Mazuri LS, ZooMed Grassland Pellets, Food Fixer and Herbal Hay from tortoisesupply.com, and a bunch of dried leaf options from Kapidolofarms.com.
