I use their 'Grassland Tortoise Diet' for my Leopards and Sulcata. I haven't noticed any difference in stools compared to a diet of natural grasses (Big Bluesstem, Bermuda, etc.) I have yet to test the 'Forest Tortoise Diet' on redfoots at my store, but I may soon, because the Rep-Cal tortoise food results in a soupy sticky teal excrement.
As for the grassland tortoises, Ectotherm has the only suitable packaged food for them. Grassland toroises (and desert species too) need to have less protein than other tortoises (less than 10%) and all of the tortoise foods except Ectotherm have 15% . Ectotherm is the only company so far to distinguish between the two major types of tortoises' dietary requirements.
