{"product_id":"prorep-tortoise-food","title":"ProRep Tortoise Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eProRep Tortoise Food is a low-protein, high-fibre diet developed specifically for Mediterranean and African tortoise species. Made from a blend of natural grasses and edible weeds, the mix is chopped and formed into cobs before being gently dried — preserving more of the natural nutritional content than methods involving high heat or fine grinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFormulation and Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe food incorporates 29 natural weeds and grasses, keeping the composition close to what these tortoises would browse in the wild. Grain content is kept low, and the fibre content includes the essential long fibres that support healthy gut function in herbivorous reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalcium and vitamin D3 are added to support bone development and metabolic health — particularly relevant for tortoises kept indoors where access to natural UVB may be limited. The low-protein profile is appropriate for species that evolved on sparse, fibrous vegetation rather than nutrient-dense foodstuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHermann's Tortoise (\u003cem\u003eTestudo hermanni\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarginated Tortoise (\u003cem\u003eTestudo marginata\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpur Thigh Tortoise (\u003cem\u003eTestudo graeca\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorsefield's Tortoise (\u003cem\u003eAgrionemys horsfieldii\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfrican Spurred Tortoise (\u003cem\u003eCentrochelys sulcata\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther herbivorous reptiles including Iguanas and Uromastyx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePalatability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA natural scent is incorporated into the cobs to encourage uptake, which can be useful when introducing the food alongside fresh produce or when working with individuals that are reluctant to accept prepared diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProRep Tortoise Food is available in a range of sizes to suit different keeper setups — from those maintaining a single tortoise to keepers managing multiple animals or larger collections.
