ProRep Tortoise Block 95g
Overview
ProRep Tortoise Block is a specialist tortoise food designed as a complete, low-protein, high-fibre diet for Mediterranean-type tortoises. It brings together natural grasses, edible weeds and other plant ingredients to help support a more natural feeding pattern, with added calcium and vitamin D3 included in the formula.
The recipe is based on chopped natural foods formed into cobs and then gently dried, rather than being heavily processed. That approach helps keep the food appealing while still focusing on the kind of plant-based nutrition tortoises need day to day.
It is a useful option for tortoise keepers looking for a convenient staple food that can sit alongside fresh suitable plants as part of a varied feeding routine.

Feeding Guide
Offer in a shallow dish 2 or 3 times a day. Give only as much as your tortoise can eat in about an hour, then remove any leftovers.
The food can be served dry or lightly sprayed with water to make it more appealing, especially for younger tortoises. Do not soak it or make it overly wet.
Use this product as part of a varied diet that still includes suitable fresh plants. A source of UVB is also important in the overall care routine.
