Zoo Med Natural Grassland Tortoise Food

My torts love this stuff. I periodically change their food, and I always come back to this one. I like to spray it with a little bit of water so soften it up. It softens very quickly and my torts eat it up. It provides good nutrition for them and I know this is a good quality brand because I can get it at major pet stores near me too.

Good

My turtle Clifford goes crazy for this crap and she's a desert tortoise

My son's tortoise eats this food & seems to enjoy the taste, but you really have to let the pellets soak in water until they're saturated. We made the mistake of giving the food without letting it soak enough, & the tortoise almost choked on a pellet. So, if you're in a hurry to feed your tortoise, buy smaller pellets or just give fresh veggies.

Tortoise loves em. Not as much as the veggies but 🤷

While it states 4 containers for $ 19.96, you can only get 3 at checkout.

Our tortoise has been eating red leaf lettuce for years but we want him to try other foods like dandelions and other leafy vegetables or tomatoes. This one would only eat red leaf lettuce. Upon reading articles on healthy foods for tortoises, we came across this one. We mixed this with the red leaf lettuce and he would just pick the lettuce and leave this on his plate. Slowly we cut the lettuce into pieces and we moistened this well and e gave him water. He would only eat less. After a week, he started eating this. We read that they can be stubborn but he gave in. We are happy to because he has "logs" now. We wanted to try this and it seemed to work. So we will purchase this again and we hope they have bigger ones.

Easiest way to keep my desert tortoise happy. Just soak them, serve them, and watch the shell puppy chow down. Good ingredients, fair price, and super easy prep.

Fantastic, tortoise loves these. Great packaging!

Works great while over wintering our Greek tortoise. There isn't anything available near us to feed him to ensure a proper diet during the winter but this covers all the base lines and allows us to properly feed him. We still like to give him some other grocery store greens for variety but he loves the stuff. Comes running every time we fill his bowl, literally!

I bought it as a supplement feed to cricket feeders and similarly just put a pre-soak pellet in cricket bin and watch it disappear within a week - It looks to be suitable for crickets and they seems to be doing so well on it~ suggesting flukers high calcium cricket gutload to be used before pet feeding as well!

ジェックスのリクガメフードからの乗り換えです。あちらは嗜好性が強く、食いつきが良すぎるので、他の雑草とか野菜とかを食べなくなるんですよね。 特に食欲が落ちる冬場にリクガメフードばかりになってしまい、甲羅の伸長が顕著になり過ぎて少し模様が歪んでしまいました… とはいえ、野菜はコストがかかる上に好き嫌いが難しいし、雑草は取りに行くのが億劫なときもあれば安定供給も難しい。綺麗な土のとこに生えてる好みの雑草はなかなか見つかりませんしね。 やはりフードがあると楽です。フードに頼りたい。 それで、タンパク質の配合が少なく、天然素材を使っていて甲羅が歪む心配がないリクガメフードを探してたのですが、いいものがなかなかありませんでした。 この製品を見つけた時にはこれだ！と思いましたね。 すぐに買って試しました。 まあ、最初は食べませんわね、全く。見た目も悪いし…。 仕方ないので3日絶食させてはこれを与えてみて、1日置いても食べないようなら下げて捨てて野菜を与える…といったサイクルを根気よく繰り返しました。 5回ほどそのサイクルを繰り返して、ようやく食べるようになりました。やれやれです。 乾いたものを嗅ぐと、うちのロシアリクガメが好きなタンポポの花のような匂いがします。なるほどな、これはハマれば好きになるはずだと思いました。 最初食いつかないのは見た目の問題でしょう。うちのリクガメはジェックスのフードでも緑色の玉だけ残したりしてましたし、リクガメって色や形にうるさいんですよ。 今では慣れたのか、普通に食べてます。 安定供給できて甲羅にも安心です。 …にしても本当にリクガメは難しい…。 この製品がなくなったらどうしたら良いのかわかりません。買い支えたいと思います。
