If you have a Smart and Final store in your area, they sell something called Santa Barbara Mix. It's escarole, endive and radicchio. To that I add whatever edible weeds I can find outside. My sister takes a plastic bag and a pair of scissors and walks the neighborhood looking for weeds. Mainly she cuts them from vacant lots or fields where she knows they haven't been sprayed.

You can also go to a feed store and ask them if it would be ok for you to gather up some of the leavings around the grass hay stack. If you cut grass hay up with the scissors the set it in water for about 15 minutes, it becomes more palatable to young tortoises.

went onto the amazon website to order food for my baby leopards( 9 months old). So many options. What Mazuri options would be best for their size and age? Help will be appreciated
