Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles

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.

NTV, Nutrition of land tortoises

NTV Nutrition of tortoises 144 pages 113 colour photos 27 tables 17 graphics Author Dr Carolin Dennert Format: 16.8 x 21.8 cm Contents: Tortoises are popular pets. However, these seemingly robust reptiles place high demands on their diet. The popular European tortoises in particular often unintentionally fall victim to inadequate feeding and the wrong food. But the increasingly popular tropical tortoise species also have very specific requirements, which can differ significantly from those of their European relatives. Carolin Dennert is a vet and committed tortoise keeper. For many years, she has focussed on the nutrition and nutrition-related diseases of reptiles, both scientifically and in veterinary practice.This book is the first to present the basics of tortoise nutrition in an understandable way, as well as all common food plants and feedstuffs. The correct supply of vitamins and minerals is discussed in detail, as well as nutrition-related diseases and treatment options. Information on the correct feeding of the individual tortoise species rounds off this special work. The nutrient content of all common food plants and the correct dosage of commercially available vitamin and mineral supplements can be found in an extensive appendix of tables.
