This 680 g Komodo feed is intended for keepers of land and pond tortoises who want a ready-made, fibre-rich base diet with controlled calcium and phosphorus levels. It is formulated with input from herpetologists and keepers, and the manufacturer states it can be fed as the sole diet.
Why it matters
- The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is stated as 3.5:1, and the analysis shows 2.03% calcium and 0.58% phosphorus.
- Crude fibre is 13% and crude protein is 9%, which places the feed in the high-fibre, low-protein range the manufacturer describes as suitable for tortoises.
- The mix contains vitamins A, D3 and E, along with omega-3 (0.05%) and omega-6 (1.07%) fatty acids.
- According to the manufacturer, glucosamine, chondroitin and methylsulfonylmethane are added to support cartilage and joint condition.
