Hello friends!

This might be a silly question but what Mazuri should I be feeding Franklin? He’s almost out of the bag I have now. I was feeding him the juvenile one (1st pic) bc I was told he was at least a year old (and the tortoise on the bag looks almost exactly like my boy hehe) however now I think he’s closer to 2 years old (but I’m really not 100% sure. Just an estimated guess). The juvenile bag says for a year and under, should I change him to something else? And if so which one? Mazuri has 2 other types of pellets but I couldn’t find “hermanns” anywhere on the bags. I figured if it says herbivore prob that one but I just wanted to ask here first to double check!

Pics attached for ref!

(I have also learned my lesson and will only give him the pellets once or twice a week!)

I never seen a juvenile one. I always buy the original, like the last pic for my leopards and Russian. I have one bag of the LS. Most tortoises don't like it. It's supposed to be better than the original but if they don't eat it, then it's not doing any good for them. I will mix a small amount of the LS into the original. When the bag is gone, I won't but it again.
