This 340 g dandelion-flavoured diet is formulated for pet tortoises kept by hobbyists who want a single product covering vitamins, minerals and fibre without a high protein load. The manufacturer states it can serve as a standalone diet, so it suits keepers who prefer a base feed over mixing several ingredients by hand.
Why it matters
- Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 3.5:1, matching the analytical values of 2.03% calcium and 0.58% phosphorus, which helps keep mineral balance on the right side for shell and bone development.
- Low protein at 9% crude protein paired with 13% crude fibre, a profile that reflects a largely herbivorous diet.
- Ingredient base of dandelion, oat, beetroot, lucerne flowers and corn gluten, with added vitamins and minerals listed on the label.
- Added glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin, which the manufacturer presents as supporting joint cartilage. Omega 3 (0.05%) and omega 6 (1.07%) are declared in the analysis.
