  • Coarsely ground timothy, miscanthus, and alfalfa for long-stem fibre.

  • Cold-pressed milling keeps that fibre intact.

  • Fresh endive, escarole, and dandelion greens to tempt them.

  • Live, naturally occurring microorganisms, probiotics that help the digestion of hind-gut fermenters like tortoises.

Who it's for

Zoo Med makes it for all grassland tortoise species, including:

  • Russian tortoise (Agrionemys horsfieldii)

  • African spurred or sulcata tortoise (Geochelone sulcata)

  • Leopard tortoise (Geochelone pardalis)

  • Pancake tortoise (Malacochersus tornieri)

  • Greek or Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca)

  • Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni)

  • Desert tortoises and related species (Gopherus species)

  • Galápagos and other giant tortoises (Geochelone nigra)

How to feed it

  • Moisten the crumbles with water before feeding.

  • Hatchlings: feed daily.

  • Six months and older: feed three times a week, adjusting the amount as needed.

  • For variety, mix it with fresh greens and vegetables.

Always give clean drinking water, and store the food cool and dry.
