ProRep Tortoise Feed Mini Kit – Grow-Your-Own Tortoise Food

The PR Tortoise Feed Mini Kit is a grow-your-own feeding solution for Mediterranean tortoise keepers who want to offer fresh, natural forage without the risks of wild foraging or shop-bought plants. It produces a varied mix of high-fibre weeds that support healthy digestion and encourage the kind of natural grazing behaviour tortoises are built for — straightforward to set up and suitable as a starter kit, a refill, or an extra tray running alongside existing setups.

What's in the Kit

• Half tray with drainage holes
• Peat-free compost
• Herbivore seed mix containing: white clover, crimson clover, red clover, vetch, hawkbit, nipplewort, dandelion, plantain, shepherd's purse, sainfoin, and hedge mustard

Why Grow Your Own

Wild-foraged plants carry the risk of pesticide exposure, misidentification, and contamination. Shop-bought alternatives are often treated with chemicals unsuitable for reptiles. Growing from seed in a controlled environment removes these concerns entirely, giving you a clean, traceable food source you've raised yourself. The high-fibre seed mix also reflects the kind of varied, nutrient-dense diet Mediterranean tortoises would encounter in their natural range.

How to Use

Fill the tray with the included compost, sow the seeds evenly across the surface, cover lightly, and water thoroughly. Keep the tray in a warm, bright location and maintain consistent moisture. Seeds typically germinate within 7–14 days. Once the plants are established, cut leaves above soil level rather than pulling — this encourages regrowth and extends the life of each tray. For reptile use only; not for human consumption.

Whether you're setting up your first tortoise enclosure or adding variety to an established animal's diet, the PR Tortoise Feed Mini Kit gives you a reliable, repeatable source of fresh forage at home.
