 #1 Grassland Tortoise Food

Zoo Med’s Grassland Tortoise Food now has more fiber! The new, improved formula contains more essential long-stem fiber grass and hays.  This pellet size is excellent for large tortoises like sulcatas, leopard tortoises, desert tortoises, and giant tortoise species (e.g., Galapagos and Aldabra). For juveniles and small species, try the Grassland Tortoise Crumbles.

• Carefully formulated for all life stages to replicate grassland tortoises’ natural high-fiber and low-protein diet.
• Contains coarsely ground timothy, Miscanthus, and alfalfa grasses to provide important long-stem fiber.
• Cold-pressed milled production maintains the integrity of all the long-stem fiber.
• Made with enticing fresh endive, escarole, and dandelion greens.
• Contains probiotics to help maintain digestive health, which is crucial for hind-gut fermenters like tortoises.

Perfect for all grassland tortoise species, including: 

• African Spurred/Sulcata Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata)
• Leopard Tortoise (Geochelone pardalis)
• Desert Tortoise and related species (Gopherus spp.)
