Pre Alpin Testudo Herbs for tortoises Feeding PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs provides the animals with species-appropriate food that is customised to the digestive system of tortoises. offer a diet adapted to the natural habitats of tortoises provide an optimal supply of raw fibres and thus ensure the maintenance of healthy intestinal flora contain no grain or animal ingredients offer an ideal calcium-phosphorus ratio can be offered freely at any time are free from flavourings and preservatives are recommended by the Institute of Zoology in Munich The diet of wild tortoises is always based on the natural conditions of the vegetation. In their original habitats, the actual growing season is usually limited to a short period, which is replaced by drought and heat from midsummer to autumn. In spring, the crude fibre content of the plants is relatively low and the protein content is high. Over the course of the summer, the herbs and grasses "age". The crude fibre content therefore increases in midsummer, whereas the protein content then drops sharply.In order to meet the needs of the organism, the composition of the feed should be adapted to the seasonal cycle. Tortoises are herbivores that require food of impeccable quality. By observing tortoises living in the wild and studying their physique and digestive tract, it becomes clear which food is most suitable for tortoises. The animals' well-developed appendix enables them to obtain sufficient nutrients from grasses and herbs rich in crude fibre and low in protein. The content of agricultural meadows, which are usually heavily fertilised, is too rich for tortoises and can lead to a variety of diseases. The food available to tortoises in their natural biotope is similar to the species-rich rough pastures of the Alpine foothills. With a natural, herb-rich diet and good husbandry, tortoises reach an advanced age. Feeding PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs and PRE ALPIN Testudo Fibre provides the animals with species-appropriate food that is adapted to the digestive system of tortoises. PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs and Testudo Fibre are therefore a valuable main component of the daily feed ration. This is because the combination of fresh rough pasture plants, with over 60 different types of grasses and herbs, provides the animal with a rich and balanced diet. PRE ALPIN Testudo Herbs and Testudo Fibre for all tortoises.

Region of origin: From north-eastern Spain, southern France, central and southern Italy, southern Greece and all the way to the Balkans (2 subspecies).the Greek country-turtle lives mainly in grass plains with shrub vegetation and loose tree-continuance, often also in the hilly terrain steep slopes with stony ground. In the midday-heat, the animals retreat to the "Siesta" in the undergrowth of the bushes. Animals from southern regions and the western subtype are warmer than copies of the eastern subtype from the northern Balkan states. Sex-differences: Males have a longer tail. Attitude: In Switzerland, it is much cooler and more rainy than its natural habitats most of the year. Especially in spring and autumn, but also in wet and cold summers, turtles, especially juveniles, need a heatable, dry container or alternative habitat. But also when keeping adult, well accustomed turtles outdoors, it is advisable to offer the animals a shelter, e.g. a cold frame, with heat radiators in the outdoor enclosure, where they can find a dry, warm place to stay if necessary. As a precaution, the first one to two years of young animals are only put outdoors in dry, warm weather.European tortoises belong in an outdoor enclosure, not on the balcony and certainly not in a room. The fence should consist of a wooden or concrete boarding (at least 10 cm buried, 50 cm high). The enclosure should be placed in such a way that the turtles can sunbathe but also retreat to a shady place. Furnishing of the outdoor enclosure: sleeping place filled with hay flat bowl with water - drinking and bathing facilities hiding places Food: The best food that can be provided to European tortoises (both adult and young) consists of as many grasses as possible. Unfertilized meadows from our climatic region are suitable.In addition and in small quantities, the following feed types promote health: herbs hay egg shells, cuttlebone shells - as lime donor Turtle food - please feed only finished vegetable food (e.g. Agrobs). If there are animal sources in the food, the turtle gets too much protein and grows too fast. Hibernation: As change-warm reptiles from winter cold regions, the European tortoises have a hibernation, which should not be missing in captivity. From the beginning of October the feeding is stopped so that the intestine is emptied before hibernation (water must always be offered, however). From mid to late October (before the first frost), when the animals have already buried themselves or fallen into winter rigidity under tufts of grass, they are placed in a wooden box with slightly damp beech leaves in a cold cellar (2 - 8 degrees Celsius). At the end of March to the middle of April the animals wake up by themselves and can again be transferred to the open-air enclosure. A 15-minute bath in lukewarm water serves the absorption of liquid to enable the animals to balance the water balance more quickly. It is recommended to carry out a shortened hibernation of approx. 2 months even with hatchlings in the first winter, because it corresponds to the natural conditions. Sick animals should not be sent into hibernation. Acquisition: If you want to acquire land turtles, you should heed the following points. Buy Swiss offspring. Holiday souvenirs are first of all illegal and secondly carry the risk of many diseases. If you have little or no experience with tortoises, please buy a book first and then the turtle. Always buy at least two animals; turtles don't like loneliness either. Only buy European tortoises if you have a garden. A balcony or a room is not allowed. Feed your turtle sensibly, otherwise the animals will suffer from health problems. For questions and problems our trained Zoo Roco team is at your disposal. They can advise you professionally in all questions.
