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.
