Not Suitable for My Young Tortoise
I bought it for my 10-month-old Hermann tortoise, but unfortunately, he didn’t show any interest in it. The block was quite large for a small tortoise, so I broke it into smaller pieces, but he still wasn’t interested. It seems like this product might work better for older or larger tortoises who are more into this kind of thing. I’d recommend checking if your tortoise likes blocks like this before purchasing. The quality seems fine, but it just didn’t work out for my little guy.

As described
Exactly as described, though for my Tunisian Tortoise (a small breed) it’s a little too hard for him to munch on.

Nutritious...but not needed
The ingredients of this block sound very good, which is why I've given it 5stars. My tortoise has never taken any interest in the block. However, the reason that I believe this block is not needed is because your tortoise should already be getting a varied diet and not need to rely on commercial food like this. A good selection of different weeds, flowers, and sometimes store bought greens is all that a tortoise will ever need to thrive. As for calcium you can either crush up chalk in a plastic bag and then sprinkle it into your tort's meals, or get a cuttlefish bone and put it into your enclosure. I do both, but sprinkle chalk only once a week.
