This cucumber-flavoured pellet food is intended for keepers who want a single, ready-to-use diet for tortoises. Its low protein content, high fibre level and balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio address the nutritional needs of herbivorous chelonians kept in captivity. According to the manufacturer, it can serve as the sole diet.
Why it matters
- The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is 3.5:1, with 2.03% calcium and 0.58% phosphorus in the analysis.
- Crude fibre reaches 13% and crude protein is 9%, a profile that suits a fibre-rich, low-protein diet.
- The formula contains added vitamins A, D3 and E, along with omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids (0.05% and 1.07% respectively).
- It includes glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and chondroitin, which the manufacturer lists for joint and cartilage support.

What it works with
The manufacturer lists the product for Testudo hermanni, Testudo horsfieldii, Testudo graeca, Stigmochelys (Geochelone) pardalis, Trachemys scripta elegans and Emys orbicularis. Before feeding, moisten the food and offer small, fresh portions in the morning and evening, matching the amount to the animal. Because tortoises may be reluctant to try new foods, the manufacturer suggests mixing it with foods the animal already accepts.
