All new Arcadia tortoise food?? Thoughts from experts please

[Andreotti10]

Hi
I have 2 amazing happy healthy horsefields living in the U.K. with me.
I always want to improve their food and diet as they love kale and dandelion weeds, however I want more variation incase they miss any nutrients

Arcadia have been discussing this new optimised 52 food now. It contains 52 different grasses and weeds they need etc

Starts as a block/tile and it expands.

Anyway I got it today, before I used it I wanted to check with you experts if you approve. Tom and Yvonne I would love your thoughts

I'm not Tom or Yvonne, but it looks OK to me (provided your tortoise will eat it).

Looks good. Open up the bag & rehydrate some so we can see what it looks like.

Its a new product, so no one has any experience with it. Ingredients look good. Arcadia is a brand name that I trust more than most. I wouldn't hesitate to use this as part of a varied diet.

I would start by soaking a tiny broken off piece of one block and mixing that with a favorite green. Then gradually add more of the new item over time

Russians aren't much for eating grass, and the hydrated product looks pretty grassy. If it were me, I'd grind it up in a coffee grinder and sprinkle it over the day's offering of wet greens.

You are so right Yvonne it’s very grassy, they are eating it but not as impressed as when the kale or dandelion leaves appear.
I will do exactly as you suggested and sprinkle it on as I’m sure what’s in this grass is good for them
