Saw a bag of this stuff at Tractor Supply next to his usual bag of Timothy Hay.

Ingredients look okay to me. I don't know about birch leaves, but if its okay for other animals, it should be fine for tortoises. Looks like a good way to add variety and fiber to grocery store greens.

What does the front of the bag look like? And the product? What animal(s) are they marketing it for?

I see more and more things like this appearing here in the US, the UK, and China - all via Facebook and other social media.

My own bias, I'd seek the organic, yes I think it is a important. Keeping variety high and diverse is important too.

Towards never hearing or reading again "My tortoise will only eat..." .

The ingredients seem good and great fiber content. @Kapidolo Farms

I have such a hard time finding organic options here that don’t involve me growing myself. He’s always been pretty picky. But he likes alfalfa and romane lettuce.
suggestions on stuff that I can get in the average grocery store would be great. Would like to give him a more varied diet. It’s just been a struggle finding things he can And will eat.

Try www.KapidoloFarms.org
https://kapidolofarms.com/product-category/foods-diet-items/. Variety packs are smaller amounts of several items, nearly all organic, there is some 'Backyard Harvest' as well.

I use them as well! I love them! Super easy an convenient. I definitely feel like a better keeper being able to give them these items that would otherwise be harder for me to find
