Tortoise Diet (Standard) - 2 Pounds

A high-quality, commercially formulated tortoise pellet diet is designed specifically to provide all the essential nutrients that tortoises need for healthy growth and long-term well-being. These diets are high in fiber, which supports healthy digestion and gut function, while being low in protein, helping prevent kidney strain and other health issues common in tortoises fed inappropriate foods. They are also enriched with calcium and other trace minerals, which are critical for strong shell and bone development, as well as balanced vitamins to prevent deficiencies that can lead to metabolic or developmental problems. The uniform pellet form ensures that tortoises receive a consistent, nutritionally complete portion with every meal, making it a reliable supplement to fresh grasses, leafy greens, and safe herbs. When combined with a varied natural diet, this type of pellet food helps maintain steady growth, robust health, and overall vitality, particularly for tortoises kept in captivity where access to natural forage may be limited or seasonal.
