Hi everyone,
How much should a hatchling leopard tortoise eat/is it too much to give it to them everyday? Also for older tortoises is it okay to give them this everyday with lots of greens?

I give it to mine, both young and old, everyday mixed about 50/50 with grass/greens.

I have a young, less than 4 month sulcata. It gets one mazuri biscuit soaked in warm water every other day with the yard weeds and straight yard weeds on the other days. My older sulcatas 10.5 and 8 lbs get a small handful soaked dumped in their yard every few days. The baby gets a pinch of calcium mixed in with the smashed up mazuri. This is simply what I do.

I have raised some Mazuri-only animals in the past. With the same remainder of care, but the different diets, I have not seen a reason to limit it. The style/quality of growth is not inferior. Give however much you feel comfortable with giving.

I like to feed it to my leopards around twice a week.

I feed once a week to youngsters. It's a good supplement, but is still a highly processed food, so I prefer feeding greens and flowers at a far greater ratio.
