New concentrated weed powder
 

As there now seems to be a bit of interest in this can I invite people to look at the Website: tortoiseworld.co.uk.

There is a range of natural, organic products, researched and produced by nutritionalist/breeder at considerable cost with the longterm wellbeing of tortoises as its only aim.This has been 5 years in the production and extensively tested on a study group of his own animals over that period.It seems to be resulting in healthier,smooth-shelled specimens over that time period,which is I know fairly short as research goes.

The exact description and origins are shown on thew website.In particular the weed powder relieves a lot of the worry about overwinter feeding.

Link to product?

This is just the sort of thing I have been waiting to see provide by people who really know about the diet of tortoises, different to manufactures providing cereal based products full of carbohydrate, which make a tortoise put on too much weight. Who has tried this product out?

okay go to www.google.com

then type in tortoiseworld.co.uk

:razz: :razz:

It's only been on the market about 6 months.I've been using it ever since as has my daughter Steph37.
I've mentioned it several times so don't know what the uptake has been, but it's good stuff.

Web bsite looks interesting. The food would appear to a grass-based pellet product with the suggestion to use additional products for supplementation. I haven't tried it though.

www.tortoiseworld.co.uk I can't see any info on the powder :?

I see it now http://www.tortoiseworld.co.uk/shop/item.asp?itemid=45

Haven't seen this before either. Anyone else been uisng it?

As with all feeding product's i like to look into deep :-), is it not similar to the old Tortoise Dust by likes of T-Rex but without many more plant's.
It would also be very benificial if the break down/make up/chemical list of the 12 plant's could be passed on to the Tortoise keeper's. If the research has gone this far.
The other thing that is confusing in the list if the product if used freely is, the plant's of Chickweed, Clover, Bindweed, Dandelion, Opuntia are on other Tort list's/sites to be fed sparingly for the chemical contents. High Oxalates as one. Russian Vine, Fallopia Baldschuan, is unknown in the chemical makeup of the plant, toxic or not. Some at Kew must know :p.

can it be sniffed up a rolled up tenner?
