That shouldn't be the primary diet. It is fine to supplement the diet with a tortoise pellet. I'd personally use Mazuri. Primary diet should consist of weeds (plantain, dandelion, chickweed). Leaves (mulberry, hibiscus, grape). Other good foods are opuntia cactus, grasses, and leafy greens. Here's a nice resource. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/

Hi. I do use that but I supplement it with greens. Or more, I just feed greens and give him a few of those once a week. My tortoise absolutely loves them which to me, is always a sign that something about them isn't right. ;) like a child will always pick the pizza or sweet and not the veggies. But that's just me.
