This 340 g salad mix from Komodo is a dry feed for tortoise keepers who want a base diet with a controlled calcium-to-phosphorus balance and joint-support ingredients. It was developed by herpetologists and keepers, and according to the manufacturer it can serve as the sole diet for tortoises.
Why it matters
- Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 3.5:1, with 2.03% calcium and 0.58% phosphorus in the analysis.
- High crude fibre (13%) and low crude protein (9%), which fits a herbivorous tortoise diet.
- Contains glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin, which the manufacturer links to cartilage and joint support, alongside vitamins A, D3 and E and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
- Built from beet, corn, oats, lucerne flowers and herbs, fruit and vegetables, so it combines a plant base with added supplements.
