I think the main reason is that they were trying not to attract Sauron's attention in order to forestall any nasty attacks, and it would be a little difficult to sneak a brigade of Elves and Ents through Mordor. Given that the soil in Mordor was presumably fairly toxic (one would think), I doubt that Ents would have survived anyway.
