Tortoise Diet (Low Starch) - 2 Pounds

A low-starch (LS) tortoise pellet diet is specially formulated to provide all the essential nutrients tortoises need while minimizing starch content, which can help reduce the risk of digestive upset and obesity. Like standard tortoise pellets, it is high in fiber to support healthy gut function and enriched with calcium and trace minerals for strong shell and bone development. Vitamins are carefully balanced to prevent deficiencies and promote overall health. The low-starch formulation is particularly beneficial for tortoise species that require a diet closer to their natural, wild forage, helping maintain steady weight, healthy digestion, and metabolic balance. Offered alongside fresh grasses, leafy greens, and safe herbs, this diet ensures tortoises receive a complete, nutrient-rich, and well-balanced diet that supports growth, vitality, and long-term well-being.
