Store Info
What's the difference between a turtle or a tortoise?

Here is a tortoise! I happen to know... this reptile eats grass and it moves very slow. It looks like a turtle, but I understand... a turtle lives in the water, a tortoise on land.
We feed our tortoises lots of dried grasses, grass pellets, tortoise diet and fresh greens, fresh veggies and sometimes a bit of fruit depending on the species of tortoises. The species determines what foods you offer. What species of tortoises do we offer: Red foot, Yellow foot, Cherry head, Russian, Sulcata, Elongated, Marginated, Hermann's, Leopard, Greek and Speke's hingeback Note: They are not available all the time... you will need to visit the "Shop Now" button to see what is currently available. Tortoises live a very very long time... before choosing a tortoise be sure to do research! Different species of tortoises vary in size... be sure you can properly house the tortoise of your choosing for its entire lifetime.

This is not a complete list but will give you an idea of what you can get to vary your reptiles diet. We use mustard, collard, endive, turnip, dandelion, escarole, kale, baby kale, arugula, bok choy, romaine, spring mix without spinach. Pick organic greens and vary them. Say you're using Spring Mix... pick up some mustard greens and mix in. Pick something different weekly.

Shredded veggies: green & red peppers, sweet potato, green beans, pea pods, alfalfa sprouts, squash, zucchini, canned pumpkin, carrot ... Shredded veggies should be as a garnish. I avoid things like: avocado, tomato, spinach, onion. Pumpkin should be 100% canned pumpkin no spices.

Fruit eating species: We use melons and berries ... sometimes a small piece of banana ... please keep fruit to a minimum and research your species to determine if it has fruit in it's diet.
