This Komodo diet is aimed at tortoise keepers who want a single, ready-to-use food with a controlled calcium-to-phosphorus balance and a fibre-rich composition. The manufacturer states that it was developed with input from herpetologists and keepers and that it can serve as the main diet for tortoises.
Why it matters
- Balanced mineral profile: the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is 3.5:1, with 2.03% calcium and 0.58% phosphorus in the analysis.
- Low protein, high fibre: crude protein is 9% and crude fibre is 13%, which suits the herbivorous diet of tortoises.
- Added joint-support compounds: the formula contains glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin, which the manufacturer describes as supporting cartilage and joint tissue.
- Vitamins and fatty acids: vitamins A, D3 and E, plus omega 3 (0.05%) and omega 6 (1.07%), are included in the formula.
