I have a 5 year old Indian Star tortoise. I mainly feed her on a mix of rocket, courgettes, coriander, parsley, dandelion and other leafy things.
I've heard from numerous places that dried grasses are very good for them and should form a large part of their diet. However, I'm having trouble finding dried grasses that she will eat. I've got bags of hay from Italian Rye grass, Orchard grass and Alfalfa. She doesn't seem interested in any of them. Well, she likes sleeping in the first two, but doesn't eat it.
Any recommendations on the type of dried grass and/or suppliers so I can try some others? Maybe I need to try giving her just hay as she might be filling up on the leaves and not learning that the hay is food?
