So I just got some Zoo Med Forest Tortoise Food. But after hydrating a little pile, i ended up with a huge pile! So...how long could I refrigerate the moistened pellets? Or should i just make some more next time? Didn't want to be wasteful!

Could you not maybe freeze the excess?

I have put in the fridge for a day or two if I made too much. Now with 6 tortoises there are never leftovers.

I also refridgerate leftover (Mazuri)
The tortoises don't seem to mind if it's warm or cold.
Four days is about as long as I'd keep it moistened. And with an airtight lid.
