Came across this today: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-TO-EBA...item3ccc7b2069

Dont know if its ground? It says for baby torts.

Has anyone tried it?

I have been using something similar that I got from pets at home which is a lot more economical & I think may be similar:

Just noticed it says above two are 80g in description. They are actually 130g.. quite a large bag for that price as it doesnt weigh a lot.

There seems to be 2 different types available.

Adult
Juvenile

I don't think it would be much different to what you are using now, I think its probably just repackaged by the shop and a bigger price tag added.

Yes, does seem expensive.. just seen picture (couldnt see it earlier) & its not ground up, as the pre-alpin baby is. Its only my hatchlings that touch this & they manage the bigger stuff (as indeed they do the pre-alpin cobs!) just fine.

This doesn't seem to have much variety in it. I do the pre alpin which has lots of different weeds in it, if that will help you. Just go to my website to read up about it. I will have to go and see what this looks like. Good luck.
