Oh I have been feed pellets for 10 ish months, once a week, gonna start all others even try ludo again with pellets but he just ain't keen well he wasn't first time,

I don't see pellets do any harm as long as you don't over feed it

i brought some pellets at my local pet shop today and they called them exotic leaf eater, and it looks like this..

is this the right stuff to feed?

Exotic leaf eater pellet's are ok. Can be moistend in a little water first, the water soaks into the pellet, even some makes say's can be fed dry. I would prefare to feed them moist to young tort's. Don't know a reason just the way i do it.

They are a bigger pellet than Komodo or Trex, so maybe not as much needed.

I'd prefer to feed them moistened too, my thinking is that at least they're getting some moisture. If ever I've fed pellets, I have always soaked them

My T-Rex pellets came yesterday and have given them some this morning along with some weeds. They ate the pellets first and are now onto the weeds. Previously tried Beaphar brand of pellets which they ignored
