Any thoughts on this? Desert tortoises and uros seem to have similar diets

Thanks

I have thought about this.....Just have never done it.
I think it would be somewhat conveinient.

I was also thinking that they might be better than some the iguana pellets out there, since the Mazuri Tortoise diet was put together by a PhD Nutritionist. A lot the reptile diets out there are based on very little science

My feeling is that I would probably supplement their regular food with the tortoise diet. I think the fresh greens are probably the best for them. I might just pick some up next time I 'm at the pet shop.....
