Welcome to my web Page, Here you will find some really useful supplements and an explanation about the uses of them all, hopefully this takes the worry out of tortoise supplement feeding.

ALL SUPPLEMENT ORDERS PLACED WILL RECEIVE A FREE SUPPLEMENT SPRINKLER-SHAKER (when in stock),MAKING IT EASY TO APPLY TO ALL FOOD!

Calcium Carbonate/Limestone flour

This supplement is pure A grade calcium,This takes the worry out of "Is my tortoise getting enough Calcium in its diet", As any extra that the tortoise digests that is not needed is safely excreted through the urine.Which means this suppliment can be used on every single meal time without worry of over dosing

Nutrobal should be used only 2-3 times per week for adult Tortoise and Slightly more frequently for Breeding females and Juvenile Tortoise, that need a higher intake for healthy growth. The problem with Nutrobal is that you never know if they are getting enough calcium which is by far the most important. As this can be dangerous if given every day this is why so many breeders now reccomend giving Calcium carbonate/Limestone flour Daily.

Calcium carbonate/Limestone Flour can also be used to supplement many other animals including suger gliders,lizards,parrots,turtles...amongst others that need a high calcium intake.The above is suitable and safe for all of these animals.

Please be advised that no amount of supplements can over come the wrong diet....and there for it is most important that your tortoise is fed on a well balanced diet of things like dandelion,sow thistle,clover,vetches,bindweed,Plantain,hibiscus,wild pansy,dead nettles,bramble leaves,chickweedand nasturtium to name but a few....things to avoid are things like cabbage,cucumber,lettuce,tomato,apple,spinach,swiss chard to name but a few ! although these may have some nutritional value they should only ever be given as a small treat and never as a complete meal!

I also now sell vegetation seeds making it even easier now to make sure your tortoise has the healthiest diet going!

Its not always possible to go out weed picking safely,as many councils now spray with chemicals to rid areas of weeds.

We therefore take some of the worry out of this also by enabling you to grow your own weeds all year round for the safety of your torts!

Tortoise Standard Seed Mix 50 Grams

This mix contains in it eleven of the most popular types of vegetation that tortoise would choose to eat in the wild. These include Broadleaf Plantain,Red clover,Milk Thistle,Vetch,Chicory,Nipplewort,Trefoil,Evening Primrose,White Clover,Bush Vetch,Hoary Plantain amongst others.

Growing this mix should provide you with a great selection full of all the nutrition that a tortoise needs from different types of vegetation,but please remember that you still need to provide them with calcium on a daily basis and nutrobal is still recomended to be used twice weekly for even fully grown tortoises as it provides them with the trace elements that they need for a full and healthy life.

Plantain mixed variety 50 grams of top quality seeds

Plantain is considered to be one of the most staple parts of a tortoises natural diet,and is a close favourite to dandelion,This can be either sprinkled out doors in a chosen area or grown in poor soil in containers over the winter months to provide a food source well into the later months of the year when many weeds have started to become sparce.There is enough in a 50 gram bag to last at least one year!

Chicory Seed 50 grams

Chicory seed grows fairly quickly into well established crops if given adequate water through the dryer months,either choose a quiet area in the garden for this to grow in or grow in a purpose built tortoise enclosure, were your tortoise is free to graze at will!

this looks very much like dandelion leaves only a little fleshier to the touch, it also has tasty blue flowers on if left to grow for long enough before your tort makes tasty meals out of them!

Again this can be grown over the winter months to maintain a healthy food source thoughout the winter months.

Milk Thistle seed 30 Grams

Another reliable food source to grow for your tortoise,personally i would probably grow this one either in a pot or directly into a tortoise outdoor enclosure as it can be quite prickly to move at a later date....not that it detters the average hungry tortoise they love this stuff!

Dried leaf Vegetation and dried flowers

This is a safe effective way to provide essential nutrients to tortoise over a winter period,if you have to keep your tortoise awake over hibernation or you have a non hibernating species this is for you.

It also comes in incredibly useful to sprinkle over other wet foods,such as salad that has had to be bought,but this way they will be getting the extra vital nutrition that they require.It is recomended that tortoise should have a complex diet of at least 4-5 different weeds/plants per day.....a diet of just dandelions or plantain leafs will not surfice.....How would you like to live on just cheese sandwhiches for the rest of your life? ...the answer i'm sure is no!!

Because It is dried only a small amount is needed to add the extra nutrition that is needed.....a couple of pinches sprinkled over food and misted with a plant mister will be enough on a daily basis. All bags of vegetation are sold with a use by date of at least 12 months and are each 100 grams in weight, all are 100% organic with no chemicals added.
