I think your problem may be the Mazuri Tortoise Chow.
This should really be only offered once maybe twice a week.
Ask any experienced tortoise breeder and they will probably tell you the same thing.
It sounds to me by the way you were talking about it in your post that this is an everyday thing.I would definitely hold back on the tortoise chow and only offer it as a treat once in a while,or if in fact a tortoise needs to rapidly gain weight.

Good luck,
Scott

PS
I am in no way implying that who ever responded prior to me isn't an expert, or didnt know what they were talking about. I am also not implying that I know more.(I know how sensitive everyone is on the site)lol
Just my two pennies.
