Trixie complementary feed Meadow grass & herbs for land tortoises, 200 g

Trixie complementary feed Meadow grass & herbs for land tortoises, 200 g is a dried plant mix formulated to complement the herbivorous diet of land tortoises. The blend contains a variety of meadow grasses and herbs presented in a 200 g package to be offered alongside fresh greens and vegetables. This product is intended to add plant-based variety, encourage natural foraging behaviour and provide a palatable, fibrous supplement to a tortoise's regular diet.

Advantages

The mixture offers a convenient, ready-to-use source of dried grasses and herbs that can be stored easily and served as part of a varied diet. As a complementary feed, it supports natural feeding patterns by providing plant textures and flavours similar to those found in wild habitats. The 200 g pack is suitable for occasional use and for maintaining a supply of dried forage when fresh forage is not available.

Suitable for

• Land tortoises of appropriate species that consume primarily plant material
• Owners seeking a dried forage option to supplement fresh greens
• Periods when fresh meadow plants or leafy greens are scarce or out of season

When it may not be suitable

This complementary feed should not be used as a sole diet. It is designed to supplement, not replace, a balanced feeding regime that includes fresh vegetables, calcium sources and species-appropriate staples. Avoid using it for tortoise species with different dietary requirements or for animals requiring veterinary-prescribed diets.

Key specifications

• Form: dried meadow grasses and herbs mix
• Pack size: 200 g
• Intended use: complementary feed for land tortoises
• Primary purpose: provide plant-based variety and fibrous forage

How to use

Offer the dried meadow grass and herb mix alongside the tortoise’s regular fresh food. Present small amounts so the animal can browse and choose; this supports natural foraging behaviour. Rehydrate small portions with water if desired to soften the mix, but ensure any rehydrated feed is used promptly and uneaten portions removed to prevent spoilage. Monitor intake and adjust the quantity of complementary feed so the majority of the diet remains fresh, species-appropriate greens and vegetables fortified with necessary calcium.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that your tortoise species is herbivorous and suited to a dried grass/herb supplement
• Plan for storage in a cool, dry place to preserve aroma and texture
• Ensure this feed fits into a balanced diet that supplies fresh greens and calcium supplementation as needed

Usage recommendations

Use this product as an occasional, complementary forage to enrich your tortoise’s diet. Combine with fresh, calcium-rich greens and monitor your pet’s condition and stool to confirm tolerance. Consult a reptile veterinarian for species-specific dietary guidance.
