This 680 g dandelion-flavoured diet is aimed at keepers of land and pond tortoises who want a single feed with a defined calcium to phosphorus ratio. The manufacturer states that it can serve as the sole diet, which reduces the need to combine several supplements with fresh produce.
Why it matters
- The calcium to phosphorus ratio is given as 3.5:1, with calcium at 2.03% and phosphorus at 0.58%.
- Crude fibre is 13% and crude protein is 9%, so the formula is fibre-rich and low in protein.
- Vitamins A, D3 and E are included, along with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
- The formula contains glucosamine, chondroitin and methylsulfonylmethane, which the supplier describes as supporting cartilage and joint condition.

What it works with
The manufacturer lists it for Greek tortoise (Testudo hermanni), red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), Horsfield's tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii), leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys Geochelone), European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) and Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca). Moisten the food before feeding, offer small fresh portions morning and evening, and mix it with a familiar food when introducing it, since tortoises may be reluctant to try new diets.
