I was having trouble with my baby I took it to the vet and she highly reccomended this food for tortoises it is made by pretty bird and you soak it. My little guy finally has started to gain weight, I have had him 6 months and he had gained no weight at all, he has in the past month gained12 grams, he was eating grasses a little. My guy also has a jaw problem and was having trouble with the grasses. He runs to his bowl when I put the food in. It is worth a try. My vet has 6 of these guys and feeds this to all of them and they are in beautiful shape.
