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.

Herpeton, Greek Land Turtles
CHF 27.90
Herpeton - Greek tortoisesGreek tortoises are among the most frequently kept reptiles. Dipl. Biol. Uwe Dost has been keeping Greek tortoises for over 20 years and regularly breeds them. In his book, he passes on his knowledge and experience from his many years of experience with Greek tortoises. The book is particularly practice-orientated, as the author deals with experienced and inexperienced tortoise keepers on an almost daily basis and is very familiar with the questions and needs of pet owners. In addition to keeping tortoises outdoors in the garden, this book also describes keeping them in terrariums in detail. Whatever the reason for keeping tortoises (temporarily) in an indoor terrarium, the terrarium must be set up and technically equipped to meet the needs of the animals. Hibernation is also discussed in particular detail and demonstrated using illustrated "step-by-step" instructions. Contents: Lifestyle and behaviour in the natural habitat, setting up an outdoor enclosure, setting up and technical equipment of a terrarium, nutrition, hibernation, reproduction, rearing young animals, health, and much more.

The turtle expert Thorsten Geier would like to inspire you as a turtle enthusiast to keep these special animals as close to nature as possible. Based on his almost 20 years of in-depth experience with European tortoises, he provides a wealth of practical advice and tips for practical use: using nature as a model, he explains that the animals should be spared a life in a terrarium. His guide contains over 180 pages of detailed suggestions for keeping animals close to nature. Thorsten Geier explains the design of outdoor enclosures and presents suitable and less suitable food plants. Other topics include: optimal nutrition, caring for hatchlings and young animals, winter torpor, animal health, successful reproduction, species protection, but also mistakes in keeping tortoises and much more. Over 200 photos of the animals' habitat, enclosure photos, plant pictures etc. make this book a particularly valuable read. In a separate chapter, the author addresses our youngest turtle friends. Thorsten Geier would like to encourage them (and their parents) in particular to treat turtles in a species-appropriate manner.
