Herbal Tortoise Hay - 1 Pound

A blend of 18-20 dehydrated leaves, flowers and herbs ideal for a tortoise's diet and digestive process. Put together here at Tortoise Supply with the help of a botanist friend of ours, this is the perfect way to add variety in the diet of a tortoise that is mostly kept on a "grocery store greens" diet. Our mix has no hay, no grass, and in our trials, has nothing in it that most tortoises won't eat. Being dehydrated, there is no "water weight," so for the weight, it is a LOT of food (see photo above with only 2oz of our hay next to a baby tortoise). Used best when sprinkled on top of a normal greens diet, our herbal hay will be a much appreciated addition to the every day routine for your tortoise. The roughage and high fiber content is perfect for a tortoise's digestive process. Most adult tortoises will eat it straight out of the bag, but we generally suggest to mix it in with the foods your tortoise is already eating. We aren't sure there's anything that smells better! 

This "herbal hay" can be used dry or rehydrated by soaking it in water prior to use. Either way will be very beneficial for supplemental "topping" use in a tortoise's everyday diet. 

Unfortunately, due to the costs of many of the raw ingredients, the price is what it is. Other comparable blends are packed with "filler" grasses and hays. Ours is not, we used no cheap fillers. Quality ingredients are expensive and many of the items we wanted were very hard to track down. 

*We are not posting a list of our ingredients in this mix. As we learned with our seed mixes, our competition was eager to copy our "formula" with the seeds as they would be with this. Rest assured that the ingredients are all beneficial and safe to tortoises and can be used in everyday diets. We hired a botanist and a nutritionist both to ensure this was the most complete diet like this for a tortoise specific diet.
