Is the zoo med grassland tortoise food good to feed your tort?? Iv been feeding it to him but he won't eat it. He just eats the veggies and weeds. Anything else I could feed him?

Tom said:The Zoo med food is good, but most torts won't eat it plain and dry. My big sulcatas will, but other smaller tortoises usually don't eat it dry for me. Try soaking just a few pellets ands then mixing it in with some finely chopped leafy greens. Over time your tortoise will get used to the taste, smell and texture, and you'll be able to increase the ratio of ZooMed to greens if you wish.

Recently I ran out of greens for her and had no way to run out to get more at that moment so I dug out the Zoo Med again and she devoured it! Now I soak some and mix it with her greens and she loves it!
