Grass from the yard.

Chopped timothy hay. This has to be mixed well into the greens or softened pellets before my torts will eat it.

My torts eat lots of timothy hay. I also let them graze in the yard. That is thier main diets then I mix them up kale, collard greens, mustard seed greens, dandylion greens, parsley, escarole, red leaf lettuce and chickory all in one big salad about every 2 to 3 days.
