If you have a look/search through threads on either Edible Weeds or Evolving Husbandry section, you will see a similar thread, Marg. On the thread, I think Dave (Kirkie) posted up a link to someone in the UK who was selling them.
Otherwise, it will be from Reptilica UK website. The postage is a bit steep but I think its as its not a Royal Mail thing...not sure, they might use an alternative courier as its sent from Germany.
Hope this helps - its all on the other thread, me thinks...

Depends how small they are but they do one specially for babies (under 200g) the others have long fibes in. There was someone on here called Jonesey & I think Alex also had some for sale but dont know if either of them had the "baby version" there is a website called "reptilia" I think but they are expensive on p & P because it is shipped from Germany.

Bought some pre alpine from reptilla not cheap. Fast delivery but package was damaged, they did offer me reasonable compensation though. From this experience they were a good company to deal with.
Pre Aplin comes in a large can and is finely cut. Incidentally my daughters star will not eat the stuff.

I bought my baby from Jonesey - she updated on TT the other day and she still has some... I think it cost me around £16.
For tortoises under 200g.

I bought the juvenile formula from reptilia. My torts are still getting used to it, but it does smell really nice!

Hi Marg, I live near you, how did you get on?

I would like to buy some but cant find any on the net.

George is a little under weight - he was 2yrs in March, is 80mm long and weighs 73g.

He loves his weeds but I would love some Pre alpin testudo diet if i could get some.

Thanks
