Handbook of food plants for tortoises and other reptiles
CHF 46.50
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.

Outdoor enclosures for European tortoises
A guide to natural husbandry in your own garden – 14–99 years
Fortunately, the design of natural enclosures for European tortoises has increasingly become a focus for many tortoise owners in recent years. The tortoises’ natural habitat should serve as a model for keeping them in your own garden. The third volume in the series ‘Guide to Keeping European Tortoises’ deals with the topic of outdoor enclosures. In this book, authors Torsten Kiefer and Thorsten Geier share their many years of experience in designing tortoise enclosures. Taking nature as a model, this book provides a wealth of information on enclosure size, fencing and creating as diverse an environment as possible. The topic of cold frames and greenhouses is also presented in detail, including the necessary equipment. Furthermore, there is extensive information on food and enclosure plants (as well as unsuitable or poisonous plants) and a description of various enclosures for breeding, balcony enclosures, emergency enclosures, etc. Numerous photos showcase outdoor enclosures of all kinds and are intended to provide inspiration for your own garden. Other topics include accidents in enclosures, protection against predators and common mistakes in tortoise enclosures. This book aims to highlight the importance of natural husbandry in outdoor enclosures and to present the ‘European tortoises’ (Hobby) from a very special perspective. A book packed with ideas for designing outdoor enclosures.
