I got a few boxes of them as a Christmas gift. I got three types:
1. Grass mixed with cactus - Dark green
2. Cactus - light green
3. Cactus fruit / prickly pear - dark red

They came in individually sealed sticks around 6 inches long and 1 inch wide. Very easy and time efficient to use.

As far as I know, they are a new product without enough testing to be conclusive but overall I like them as a supplement

Of the three types, I strongly favor the grass mix which has pieces of grass around half an inch long.

In general, I think they are too moist to feed all the time but in moderation they provide one of the best processed tortoise products. Only time will tell what type of results they provide.

I use the grassland tortoise yummies for my sulcata and the forest tortoise yummies for my redfoot. I use both only to supplement their diet, never to replace it. They both love the stuff.
