By popular demand (and ultimately, Josh's urging), I am revealing an age-old recipe...actually it only came to fruition when I acquired Aladar this past Spring. Obviously, you can change up ingredients, but I rarely vary anything...as the torts (both great and small) love this savory treat!
First cover the bottom of a tupperware with Mazuri...
Next...a layer of Timothy hay
Then...a layer of Zoo Med Grassland
Followed by a layer of finely chopped Timothy/Bermuda/Orchard Hay (or TNT form CarolinaPetSupply.com)
Then a layer of Organic Herbal Salad Mix (CarolinaPetSupply.com)
Add very warm water to top of ingredients...
and press down lightly with a spatula (don't worry that it seems like a lot of water...the Mazuri and Grassland absorb it all)
Let sit 15 minutes and the slam it down where you intend your tort to eat...
add a little Spring Mix (or Santa Barbara Mix, which I prefer [no lettuce])
and watch him (or her) do the rest.
***NOTE: There is no precise measurement for the ingredients...I base it according to how much my torts can eat in a single sitting...THIS STUFF DOES NOT KEEP!***
