Does anyone use timothy grass pellets?

[DoubleD1996!]

I feed my tortoises a natural diet of safe weeds I collect in the woods as well as some produce, but, I was thinking of trying out timothy pellets just to feed sometimes. I have mazuri tortoise chow , but my cooters seem to like it more than my torts.

I bought some, and I sometimes supplement my tortoises' diets with them, especially in the winter.

I soften the pellets in warm water and use them like a salad dressing over mixed greens.

My Russians seem to like it more than my omnivorous torts do....

Yes I use them too. At first they didn't take to them. Soak them til soft and mix with mazuri or other fave food if they dont take to them on their one.

Our tortoises wont eat them. I would like to try orchard grass pellets but they are hard to get on the east coast.

I might try those too, but mine have yet to eat any pellet.

I soak the Timothy hay pellets until they turn to mush, and then I mix handfuls into my buckets o' greens for the day to add fiber and bulk.

I've never tried offering the pellets plain or by themselves, but all the tortoises eat it just fine when its mixed in.
