I am hearing alot about already prepared diets that one can buy for tortoises.And how they are not good for them.(i'M CONFUSED). That is all I have been using as of yet. I got Phoenix when she was 2 weeks old..She is now 2 months and seems to be doing fine with this diet. I have listed here what goes into these pellets I feed her and that she really seems to love eating. I will eventually switch her to a more natural diet as she gets older ... but for now is there really any reason why I should not go ahead and feed these to her seeing how well she is doing while eating it?
