Zoo Med Natural Tortoise Food: Premium 60-Ounce Blend for Healthy Grassland Tortoises Review

An ideal basic food for Mediterranean tortoises that require a high-fiber, low-protein diet. That, plus a small amount of mazuri nuggets and plenty of weed, both dehydrated and fresh, and Darwin is healthy and happy. It also has a calcium chewing block for bone and carapace health and to keep its "beak" from overgrowing. He will be ten years old next month. When he was a kid I had to introduce this by adding a small amount of chopped veggies from the grocery store, which he preferred but wasn't

Excellent quality food for tortoises. My 27 year old desert tortoise has only eaten organic leafy greens for years. But they were expensive and withered before she'd eaten them all and I had to throw them away. It took her a long time to fully transition to this food. I recommend mixing up some of them and putting whatever food they are eating on top. Make sure you keep it well hydrated and always provide the turtle with fresh water.

Simply mash the already inflated pellets in a bowl to dry them again and you can use the pellet powder to add them to your food. I usually dice the cactus (nopales) with some squash, squash, fruit or edible…

I have two pancake turtles (Merry and Pippin). For the first few years I fed her a mixture of thick leafy greens like kale, collard greens, dandelions, etc. However, I noticed that her droppings weren't always hard or frequent. The container for this food classifies pancake turtles as grassland turtles, which is why I chose this food from Zoo Med's line of turtle foods. At first I just mixed this food with her greens because I wasn't sure I could get her to move. Stop eating leaves. I also…
