Timothy Hay Pellets

[Dizisdalife]

Does anyone feed timothy hay pellets to their sulcata? I was given some by a friend that raises horses. He soaks the pellets in water and they expand like Mazuri or Zoomed. My juvenile sulcata doesn't really eat hay yet, but I have been adding some Bermuda hay to his Mazuri to get him accustom to eating hay. I am impressed by how well these timothy pellets rehydrate. The manufactures website list Timothy Grass hay as the only ingredient, so it should be safe, right?

I would not hesitate to feed those to my tortoises. Looks good to me!

I use something similar, made for rabbits and small animals. I think it complements Mazuri well, adds fiber.

Another nice thing about those is the hay and stems are all chopped up and maserated which makes it much easier for a smaller tortoise to eat it once it's rehydrated.

Very nice.
