Do you not have access to a supermarket?
I have a large qty of torts in my collection, yet never use a "dry feed".
When I think they need an extra "dose of food", outside of the lawn grass, I go to the supermarket & get them an unprecidented selection of veggies etc.
All that is spoken about the s/market veg are full of "pesticides etc" I have not yet seen any pitfalls to my torts, which have now been on this regime for several yrs.
I consider if it's good enough for humans, torts should be ok.
I'd never feed my torts with anything that I couldn't eat, (metiphorically speaking)

:I don't think I'm lazy feeding Mazuri, however if I only had
:a small hatchling or small torotises I guess I could open my
:mouth and say that until I learned that: Purina makes Mazuri
:and I'm sure a little thought went into it since zoos all over
:the world use it. Growing grasses for a large tortoise to
:carry through the winter is a joke that only someone with no
:experience in actually trying that would suggest. Freezing
:any amount of weeds (along with the bugs and spiders etc...
:that'd be in it) would require a huge space for a larger
:specimen. Unless (and sometimes even though) you live in
:a wonderful environment, people who preach natural feeding only
:tend to be called "those looking to re-home their tortoise soon
:enough".
