Quick Product Snapshot

Material & Design Breakdown

The Tortoise Block is built on a calcium sulfate base, which delivers dietary calcium while providing a gnawable surface that helps wear down and maintain tortoise and box turtle beaks naturally. The block incorporates Dried Nopales (Spineless Opuntia Cactus), Dried Carrot, and Suncured Chopped Alfalfa, offering a blend of plant-based ingredients that add food variety alongside the calcium supplementation. The block format allows it to be placed directly in the habitat for self-regulated access.

Setup & Compatibility Guidance

Place the Tortoise Block directly in your tortoise or box turtle habitat where the animal can access it freely. No preparation is required. Replace when fully consumed. Suitable for use as a supplemental vacation feeder when you are away from home.

Care & Maintenance

Replace the Tortoise Block when it has been fully consumed or becomes too small to be useful. Monitor the habitat to remove any small remnants as needed. Store unused blocks in a cool, dry location.
