Anyone ever shopped at Tractor Supply plus or another agriculture distributer for tortoise food? I was there the other day and almost bought a product named T.N.T. Timothy-Alfalfa Chops. It’s an alfalfa and hay mash used to feed colts and senior horses. A 40lbs bag cost only $16.00! That’s a fraction of what Grass land is from a conventional pet store. The only question is the Crude Protein (min.) 12%, Crude Fat (min.) 1.5%, Crude Fiber (max.) 30%. Obviously this analysis if measured for a much larger quantity an (8 qt bucket), but it also contains a cane molasses blend?
This wouldn’t be intended to be a stable diet, just substituting Grasslands Tortoises Diet. My local pet store stopped caring the product and now offers a Zilla Tortoise and land turtle product. The product label has a gorgeous picture of a Sulcata but the one of the main ingredients is fish worm. The employee and I had a heated discussion about the ingredients and crude protein.
