Fed up with having to feed your pet Tortoise Junk?

Did you know that almost all commercial Tortoise foods are made from food waste such as almond nut shells or soya husk? Did you know that many of these prepared diets that smell so strongly of fruits or flowers do so because of potent artificial attractants?

Did you know that many of these foods are totally unnatural when compared with the wild diets of these incredible animals? In many cases they are little more than a baked, extruded chemical mass of artificial colours, flavours, scents, and preservatives? A chemical soup soaked into waste fibres and with very little actual ‘food’.

EarthPro-Optimised52 is a brand new, vet checked, all-natural way of feeding tortoises, developed to replicate wild feeding by only using natural ingredients. We use no non-natural fillers such as seed husks, nut shells, Maize, soya and flours which are all too common in prepared Tortoise diets.

Tortoises have developed over vast time to be opportunistic feeders that are highly herbivorous. They are an exploring species that will graze as opportunity arises within seasonality. The wild diet of the Mediterranean species consists mainly of leafy vegetation, grasses, roots, tubers, and seasonal flowers. Fruits are taken but rarely and as a seasonal supplier.

A wild diet of this type is very high in fibre, low in protein, sodium and fats. Natural geophagy is also a vital supplier of essential minerals and vitamins, mostly from the B group.

How to feed Your Tortoise?

Feed as required! You may choose to feed a whole tile to a younger animal and let it graze during the day, or you may choose to break each tile further and rehydrate accordingly.

Each Tile is approximately 12,5g in weight and has to be water with 12 teaspoons of tap/drinking water. After the tile is soaked with water it will change color to green.

Each animal will have its own preferences and as caring keepers we tend to keep them towards these preferences. As Optimised52 has no added artificial preservatives you should discard any uneaten rehydrated food daily.

Optimised52 is an all-natural EU grown blend of at least 52 species of grasses and herbs, selected to provide optimal nutrition for pet Tortoises. It contains no cheap unnatural bulking agents such as almond nut shells or sunflower seed hulls. It contains no flours or waste material and has no added artificial colours, flavours, scents or preservatives.
