Feeding Guide
- Offer in a shallow dish 2 or 3 times a day.
- Give as much as can be eaten within an hour.
- Feed dry, or lightly spray with water to improve palatability.
- Lightly moistening can be especially useful for young tortoises.
- Do not soak or overwet the food.
This is a complete staple feed, so it can be used as part of a regular daily diet rather than as an occasional treat.
Suitable Species
Designed for Mediterranean-type tortoises, including Hermann’s, Marginated, Spur-thighed and Horsefield’s tortoises. It is also suitable for African Spurred Tortoises (G. sulcata) and can be used for other herbivorous reptiles such as iguanas and uromastyx.
The recipe’s grass-and-herb base makes it a good match for species that need a fibre-rich plant diet.
