Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Red-footed, yellow-footed and hingeback tortoises.

Who should skip it

Grassland species such as Russian, Greek and sulcata tortoises — use a high-fibre grassland food instead.

Tips

Offer it alongside leafy greens, some fruit and appropriate protein as advised for your species. Soak pellets to soften them and add moisture.

Questions owners ask

Can I feed this to a sulcata?

No — grassland species need a higher-fibre, lower-protein diet.

Dry or soaked?

Soaking softens it and adds moisture, which suits most tortoises.
