Hi there!

Does anyone know if there is anything similar to this product available in the UK?
I have an (almost) 2 year old horsefield torty, William, and I think he’d love this!

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hello!
I hope members from UK can share more options (I know they get cactus pads somewhere). I have seen some dried weeds/flowers in ShelledWarriors online shop: https://www.shelledwarriorsshop.co.uk/dried-flowers-weeds-314-c.asp

Also, there are some flower toppers from ZooMed and Arcadia available in pet stores (like Swell Reptile).

Pelleted food also can be used as topper or supplement. For example, Arcadia Optimized52, ZooMed Grassland or Pre-Alpin (https://buzzardreptile.co.uk/product/pre-alpin-testudo-original-tortoise-food-1kg/) have nice contents and protein/fiber ratio. The only trouble with these pellets is that most tortoises don't rush to eat them and thus they require some effort to introduce.

This is great, thank you so much!

The Tortoise Hut has been looking good to me lately: https://www.tortoisehut.co.uk/food-for-tortoises?page=2.

You have to scroll down to see all the dried foods as they are scattered throughout this page.

If you want to place an order with Shelled Warriors it seems like you'll do better calling than ordering online just now. They're fine! It just seems like a small business. They have a forum as well so if you want to shop this is the right link: https://www.shelledwarriorsshop.co.uk/.

Best to soak any and all when it's a new food.

if you want to try growing your own food both have seed mixes.

This is great, thank you so much! The shelled warrior topper and the ZooMed topper looks perfect.
