HabiStat Tortoise Food Meadow Mix 800g – Complementary Tortoise Diet

HabiStat Tortoise Food Meadow Mix is a complementary, plant-based diet developed for European, Russian and other Mediterranean tortoise species. It provides a convenient meadow-style pellet mix that can be fed alongside fresh weeds, leaves and flowers to help support a natural-style feeding routine.

This high-fibre, low-protein formula is enriched with essential calcium and vitamin D3 to support strong shells, healthy bones and overall wellbeing. When soaked in warm water, the pellets soften and release their aroma, making them easier for tortoises to eat and digest.

Designed to be part of a varied diet rather than the sole food source, HabiStat Tortoise Food Meadow Mix is ideal for keepers who want a simple way to add extra fibre, vitamins and minerals to their tortoise’s weekly menu.
