Zeigler Tortoise MonsterDiet is a 1/8" (3.1mm) pellet, vegetable protein based diet for herbivorous land tortoises such as African Spur Thigh (Sulcatas), Red-Foot, Yellow-Foot, Leopard, Russian, Gopher and Pancake. This diet uses high quality protein and fiber sources blended with optimum vitamin and mineral levels to promote maximum growth, proper shell development, and longevity in one simple package. In the wild, land tortoises consume a large variety of different foods. Trying to mimic this type of diet with grocery produce is difficult and risky. A balanced diet is key to warding off diseases such as Metabolic Bone Disease, bladder stones, renal disease and the condition referred to as pyramiding. Tortoise MonsterDiet utilizes natural grains and ingredients such as carrot, dandelion, celery, beet, parsley, lettuce and watercress to provide the nutrients required for long-term maintenance. Feeding Directions: Tortoise MonsterDiet should be fed free choice as the total diet. All uneaten food should be removed daily. Always make all diet changes gradually over the course of several days. Tortoises will learn to eat from dishes if initially mixed with green vegetables. Fresh green leaves and vegetables may be offered as an occasional treat but should constitute only a minor portion of the diet. Fresh clean water should be available at all times. IMPORTANT: A feeding program is only as effective as the management practices followed. Always provide reptiles with adequate natural light or a light source which supplies sufficient UV radiation between the wavelengths of 280 and 315 nm.
