The diet of wild tortoises always depends on the natural vegetation conditions. In their original habitats, the actual growing season is usually limited to a short time, which is replaced by dryness and heat in the period from midsummer to fall. In spring, the content of crude fibre in the plants is relatively low and the protein content is high. During the summer, the herbs and grasses “age”. The fibre content increases accordingly in midsummer, whereas the protein content drops sharply. To meet the needs of the organism, feeding should be adapted during the seasonal process. Baby tortoises have similar feeding requirements as mature tortoises. Above all, they need herbs and grasses from species-rich and also meagre meadows. Even if it is difficult, emphasis should be placed on restrained feeding, even meagre by human standards. This is the only way to achieve appropriate, slow tortoise growth and prevent consequential health damage. Testudo Baby is an extra fine feed adapted to the diet of young tortoises. The ingredients are leaves and seeds rich in vital substances from the species-rich meadows of the Bavarian Alpine foothills. Thanks to the fine ingredients and an extra short fibre length, it provides enough dietary fibre and vital substances for your baby tortoise and also juvenile animals up to a weight of 200 g. It provides the young animal with a diet that is adapted to the natural habits of tortoises. It ensures the development and maintenance of healthy intestinal flora and is free of flavourings and preservatives. It also optimises the supply of nutrients and vital substances and provides the right amount of raw fibre.
