Review on 🐒 Rep-Cal 12.5-Ounce Tortoise Food (SRP00806) - Optimal Choice for Your Tortoise's Nutrition by Eden Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good backup food source

Although my Russian loves to eat her usual mix of fresh veggies and herbs, I sometimes add this to her mix if I like the fresh veg, veg mix or the She runs out of supplies as a food alternative in the hope that the variety offered will give her some additional positive nutritional value that is different from what I normally feed her. I know she prefers fresh green mix to processed turtle chow, but she will eat it. I love that it offers a variety of fruits and veggies than I usually feed her, that it's quick and convenient, ensures I never run out of food for her, and also includes some extra nutrients, vitamins, etc. blends which they normally had not received. These are small, colourful, pea-sized variations of fruit and vegetables. They are hard so I soak them in water first to soften them and then give the soft food to my turtle to eat. I start with about an eighth cup, only filling it halfway (I don't fill the full 1/8 cup with food; then I fill the eight-cup container with water, just covering the rim). the peas, not up to the top of the container. The peas will grow larger after absorbing the added water. Then I will put the moistened food in their turtle food bowl and feed them. To be honest, this isn't her top, favorite #1 food choice. However, as a backup or alternative, this food has proven itself many times as "a food that's guaranteed to be fed regularly" (rather than waiting until I'm off one recovered from an unexpected illness or went to the grocery store to buy fresh vegetables, which she usually prefers to eat). looks fresh, vacuum packed, sealed, plastic container with reusable screw cap.
