These are the daily preparation guidelines used at the Tortoise Hotel®. Every tortoise is different, so use them as a sensible starting point and adjust according to appetite, activity and body condition.
Some tortoises eat it immediately. Others may take several weeks. Continue offering it alongside fresh weeds and edible flowers. Patience usually wins.
At the Tortoise Hotel®, we’ve found that mixing this high-fibre forage with Manuel’s Secret Blend™ Premium Dried Flower Mix has encouraged even reluctant tortoises to accept it. In our experience, every tortoise we’ve introduced this way has gone on to enjoy the forage.
For the most natural and balanced diet, feed alongside a wide variety of fresh weeds and edible flowers whenever available.
