Pre Alpin

Has any one ordered Pre Alpin from http://www.tortoiselady.co.uk/page8.htm

she seems to be the only person in the Uk that sells it.
I have been on reptilica but there delivery costs seem high.

Hi Minty, i bought some Pre Alpin Herb a couple of weeks ago from the tortoise Lady. No problems and fast delivery. Going to use over winter along with other foods. My torts a bit unsure at first but i think will get used to it

I ordered some of the pre alpin baby from the tortoise lady, as i struggled to find anywhere else that stocked it.
The only problem i have is getting the little monkeys to eat it!!

I ordered some aswell. My two don't really like it, i've tried soaking it and sprinkling a bit dry. I now just give them a teaspoon of it soaked, mixed in their weeds and they don't seem to notice it. I'm gradually going to increase the amount.

Fast delivery and good price I think xxx

Thanks for all the good comments about me. I do try and get it sent immediatley. Urban Tortoise is also a good friend of mine and we both try and keep a good stock in.

I find that the best way of introducing the pre alpin is soaked and sprinkled onto their usual foods. Once they get a taste they seem to love it. It is meant as a food that must be part of a balanced diet. It is not suitable on it's own. I also have a few people that just sprinkle it on other food dry, so it is worth trying both ways.
Any questions then just ask.

I think I ordered mine from Germany last year. The site was called Reptilica or something..
