When my torts are outdoors they are also grazing on grass and a few weeds that grow in their pen. These are tough, low-calorie foods, so I don't worry about that too much. I give them more nutrient-dense foods every other day.

When indoors my torts are less active and don't need as much food. They would eat more if offered.

Low activity and unlimited food intake would lead to obesity. At least that's what would happen to just about any other animal I could think of.
