If you’re looking for an alternative to Mazuri Tortoise Diet or ZooMed Grassland, hay pellets are just what you should try.
Using a timothy hay pellet instead of loose timothy hay, is more convenient and less messy. You can either soak hay pellets and mix with other foods, like greens, grasses or dried flowers. Or you can offer timothy hay pellets dry.
The benefit to using timothy hay pellets over other commercial tortoise pellets, like Mazuri or Grassland, is that you know the pellet is 100% hay. You can eliminate the fillers that some of the other pellet diets contain.

Timothy Hay Cubes
Small Pet Select Timothy Hay Cubes are 100% timothy hay. These hay cubes do not have fillers, or additives, like alfalfa. Many hay cubes on the market have fillers, like higher protein grass hays, but the Small Pet brand is 100% timothy hay.
The cubes are larger than small pellets. You can still soak them to mush them up for smaller sulcata tortoises or offer the hay cubes dry for larger sulcatas.
Standlee Hay Timothy Pellets
The Standless brand of hay pellets is a popular and trusted brand for many horse keepers. The hay pellets are noxious weed free.
