When I first got my Russian pair two years ago, they were wild-caught and ate only plants. I offered them commercial food, and although they didn't want what I consider the best stuff (Mazuri and Zoomed Grassland), they did in time accept the colored stuff (Rep-Cal and T-Rex), which I don't think are as good.
Fortunately, first the female and then the male did eventually start eating Mazuri Tortoise Diet, and now they both eat it with gusto. I'm happy to say that this morning, my female enjoyed eating some Zoomed Grassland as well. The male, as usual, is more reluctant to join the bandwagon, but if history is any indicator, hopefully he'll soon be chowing down on Zoomed Grassland, too. We shall see!
