This 680 g banana-flavoured food is intended for keepers of Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni), Horsfield's tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii), leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys Geochelone), European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) and red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans). The manufacturer states it can serve as the sole diet, so it is meant to cover daily nutrition rather than act only as a treat.

What it works with

The manufacturer's directions call for moistening the food before serving, offering small fresh portions morning and evening, and matching the amount to the animal's needs.
