One of the first commercially prepared food i bought was timothy cubes. Made for hamsters i felt if i could get elvis to eat them, it would a good fiberous addition to his food rotation. I knew, based on my reading hereit was a longshot and i was right. Wouldnt touch it. But i still added them by grounding them and sprinkling the powder on his greens. Well, today i tried giving him a whole hydrated cube....

No never thought of using hamster timothy cubes.
Our feed stores up here sell 25kg bags of cubed timothy, for
horses, I wonder whats in them. I fed them to our horses a few years
ago when feed was in short supply. Didn't have leopard torts
back then, I'll have to check these cubes out.

I havent tried the cubes again since this post. But it is coming around on the rotation and will soon. Keep in mind elvis is around a year old and have read older torts accept dried grasses more easily. Even if he rejects rhe whole cube next time, i will continue to grind them up and sprinkle on food daily. This works particularly well on wet food like squash and pumpkin.
