Zoo Med Grassland Tortoise Food Crumbles

Zoo Med Grassland Tortoise Food Crumbles provide a convenient high-fibre, low-protein diet developed specifically for grassland tortoises. The small, irregular crumble pieces are particularly easy for hatchlings, juveniles and smaller tortoise species to eat.

Made with coarsely ground timothy hay, Miscanthus and alfalfa, the recipe provides valuable long-stem fibre alongside endive, escarole and dandelion greens. A source of naturally occurring live microorganisms is also included to support digestive health.

Key Features

• Cold-pressed milling helps maintain the structure of long-stem fibre.
• Formulated to reflect the naturally high-fibre, low-protein diet of grassland tortoises.
• Easy-to-eat crumble size makes it a useful alternative to larger pellets.
