The tortoise feed growing kit is a complete kit for growing edible weeds for tortoises. The kit contains: Edible weed seeds - enough for 4 sowings, seed trays, propagator top, compost and full instructions.

The wild seed mix contained in the ProRep feed growing kit has been developed after many years of careful observation of wild tortoises and their food plants. The select mix of annual and perennial plants has been grown specifically for the tortoise feed kit and has not been 'padded out' with cheap grass seed that Mediterranean tortoises do not readily eat. This kit can be used all year round to provide a source of nutritious, weed leaves that allow tortoises to graze naturally and obtain a wide range of nutrients essential for slow, healthy growth.

The mix of seeds will vary but can typically include dandelion, smooth hawk’s beard, nipplewort, chicory, smooth sow thistle, great plantain, hoary plantain, ribwort plantain, common mallow, musk mallow, dwarf mallow, shepherd’s purse, hairy bitter cress, wavy bitter cress, white/Dutch clover, red clover, common vetch, sainfoin, creeping bell-flower, field bindweed and hedge mustard. All of which are safe for your tortoise to graze on.

The trays can be placed in the tortoise enclosure or the leaves harvested to mix with other foods. Harvested trays will re-grow for multiple uses. This kit contains all of the equipment and seed that you require for a happy tortoise. These seeds can also be used to sow an outdoor enclosure.

A seed refill pack is also available for use with this product.
