This cucumber-flavoured food is intended for keepers of tortoises such as Testudo hermanni, Testudo horsfieldii and Trachemys scripta elegans. It is designed to meet the mineral balance and fibre needs of these species while supplying glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM, which the manufacturer links to joint and cartilage condition.
Why it matters
- The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is 3.5:1, a fixed mineral balance that supports correct calcium intake in tortoises.
- Crude fibre content is 13% and crude protein is 9%, a low-protein, high-fibre profile suited to herbivorous tortoises.
- The formula contains vitamins A, D3 and E, along with omega-3 (0.05%) and omega-6 (1.07%) fatty acids, according to the analytical composition.
- Glucosamine, chondroitin and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) are included in the recipe; the manufacturer states these support cartilage and joint condition.
