Grinding the hay into the pellet means each bite carries the hay along with the rest of the formula. Fiber runs high in this diet and starch runs low, and the particles are extruded smaller than Mazuri's other tortoise diets, which is the size the brand makes for young animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich baby tortoises the pellets suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the brand's list of suitable baby tortoise types you will find the following: radiated, pancake, leopard, Greek, gopher, Galápagos, Egyptian, desert, Russian, sulcata, African spurred, Aldabra, red-footed, elongated, Indian star and Burmese tortoises. A tortoise outside those types is not one the brand names this bag for. Because the formula is a juvenile one, it is aimed at young tortoises rather than adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParticle size is the second thing to check. The pieces are smaller than those in Mazuri's other tortoise diets, the version the brand makes for young animals.
