ReadiGrass Health Benefits

The Addition of ReadiGrass to the Original Formula Leaf Eater Tortoise Food Offers many Health Benefits

1. High Fibre Content: Readigrass is rich in dietary fibre, which is essential for the digestive health of tortoises. The fibre content helps promote proper gut motility, preventing constipation and supporting regular bowel movements. Adequate fibre intake is crucial for maintaining a healthy digestive system in tortoises.
2. Enrichment and Foraging: Tortoises are natural foragers, and offering Readigrass provides them with an opportunity to engage in natural feeding behaviours. 
3. Weight Management: Readigrass can be a valuable addition to the diet of tortoises that need to manage their weight. Its high fiber content can help create a feeling of fullness, preventing overeating and aiding in weight control. This is particularly useful for tortoises that may be prone to obesity or weight-related health issues.
4. Nutritional Variety: Readigrass offers a diverse range of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. These nutrients can complement the overall diet of tortoises, providing additional nutritional variety and supporting their overall health and vitality.
5. Natural Source of Calcium: Calcium is a crucial mineral for the growth and maintenance of a tortoise's shell and bones. Readigrass can serve as a natural source of calcium, contributing to the tortoise's calcium requirements and supporting skeletal health.

Feeding Directions

• Tortoises will generally consume 1% to 4% of body weight per day (total diet), although food intake will vary due to environmental temperature, activity, and life stage.
• Provide good quality forage such as grass hay or non-toxic browse and fresh clean water daily. Fresh fruits and vegetables may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.
• It is not necessary to moisten pellets with water, however, soaking the product may help to acclimate tortoises to the diet. If moistened, the diet should be replaced at least twice daily.
• Thoroughly wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling animals. This diet is not for human consumption.
