I have the other problem, mine is hooked on pellets and so am fighting to reintroduce weeds, so if happy eating weeds I would stick with it.

I feed my 2 boys weeds and don't give pellets
Why would a tortoise need flavoured food?

I know this is a sore point on one of the tortoise forums on facebook I admited I didn't fed pellets and was told to get off the thread (rather rudely I may add)

I don't go on there much now

But some of you on here know that already

I've never said one word against people feeding pellets but I was jumped on from a great hieght by people who do feed pellets

They add variety. They cut out any guess work too. Many people think they are meeting the needs of their tortoise by feeding one or two weeds a day with a dash of Nutrobal now and then. In reality, they're probably not.

I'm not really a fan of the Komodo range, the colours and flavors I think are aimed at the keeper.

out of all the pellets I have used, the green komodo ones do not get touched at all and red ones only if they are desperate

You could persevere or try a different flavour. Mine love the dandelion ones.

My lot love the dandelion and fruit and flower.

Think I may try them with cucumber and banana flavour.
