EarthPro-Optimised52 is a new, vet-verified, all-natural feeding solution for tortoises, designed to mimic their wild diet using only natural ingredients. Unlike many prepared tortoise foods, it contains no artificial fillers like seed husks, nut shells, maize, soya, or flours.
Tortoises have evolved to be opportunistic herbivores, grazing on available vegetation according to seasonal changes. In the wild, Mediterranean species mainly consume leafy greens, grasses, roots, tubers, and seasonal flowers, with fruits being an occasional and seasonal treat.
This type of diet is high in fiber and low in protein, sodium, and fats. Geophagy, or natural soil consumption, plays a crucial role in providing essential minerals and vitamins, especially from the B group.
To ensure our tortoises live long, healthy lives, it's essential to feed them appropriately. Fillers like nut shells and husks provide little nutritional value and are often used merely to bulk up fiber content at a low cost.
Fiber is crucial in tortoise diets, not only for direct nutrition but also as a prebiotic that supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. This helps with digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. A balanced probiotic system in the gut is vital for immune function. Optimised52 contains no by-products or cheap fillers. It offers a high, whole-plant fiber content and includes a natural paraprobiotic to promote beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. EarthPro-Optimised52 is 25.7% fiber, with only 10% protein, and is low in fats and sodium.
