Handbook of forage plants 2nd revised editionMarion Minch is not only a successful breeder of diverse tortoises for many years, but also an excellent connoisseur of native wild herbs. She founded and runs samenkiste.de, which is well known to many tortoise keepers and nature lovers. Her name is inextricably linked with reptile care and species-appropriate nutrition for tortoises. Her handbook of food plants summarises the most important native food plants for herbivorous and omnivorous reptiles. She not only considers tortoises, but also iguanas, spiny-tailed dragons and even chameleons. From the basics of plant biology to native wild herbs to suitable food plants for hardy tropical reptile species, this comprehensive work provides the basis for species-appropriate keeping. In the expanded and supplemented 2nd edition, the plant section is divided according to flower colour. This makes it even easier to identify wild herbs. The work has also been supplemented with a wealth of additional information and many pictures.

At first the mixture may seem too loose, but it will thicken after a few minutes. If you need a thicker mousse consistency, use less water. You can prepare a larger portion and store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days. Feed adult animals 3-4 times a week. Feed young animals and breeding females daily at will. For nocturnal species feed in the afternoon and evening, for diurnal species feed in the morning. Remove all uneaten food after 24 hours.
