Default Grass!

Just like most other torts my two love to graze on grass. Just wondered what you guys use instead of grass during the winter months?

Hi
Mine are Ibera's and they do eat a lot of grass. In the winter they are hibernating in the fridge

Mine are Star's. I give them a weed mixture in the morning and they tend to go for the fresh grass in the evening.

My ibera and tunisian eat grass. You could try readigrass over winter. My tunisian especially eats lots of this - can be gotten from SW shop.
