JBL JBL ProTerra Florsil

Produktbeschreibung

JBL ProTerra Florsil

A staple food with flowers for a varied diet for all tortoises.

• 56% flower content for a balanced diet, as tortoises particularly enjoy eating plant flowers in the wild
• High acceptance rate thanks to the natural colors of the dried flowers. Turtles are highly responsive to bright colors. Even the best food is useless if the turtles won’t eat it!
• A healthy blend of natural flowers and purely plant-based, extra-flat sticks, as only this combination provides a species-appropriate diet
• Contains: Dried flowers (e.g., hibiscus, marigolds, sunflower petals) and plant-based food sticks (alfalfa, spinach, rosemary, basil, etc.) with minerals and natural vitamins. No added colors or preservatives
• Contents: 1 water- and light-tight can, fresh-sealed with flower and green food sticks (1–5 cm). Includes a measuring scoop in the lid

Treat your tortoise to healthy food

Tortoises are picky eaters; they certainly won’t eat just anything, and they may even be tempted by some foods they shouldn’t eat. For example, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and meat-based foods are unsuitable.
The composition of the JBL PROTERRA food line was developed in collaboration with Dr. Petra Kölle at Munich University of Applied Sciences and specialized tortoise breeders. Acceptance tests clearly showed that tortoises distinctly prefer food from the JBL PROTERRA line over all other foods offered. After all, even if a food is perfectly balanced from a nutritional standpoint, the animal must first accept it!
The natural scent and, above all, the colors of the dried flowers make the food highly appealing, even to very picky land tortoise species.
With JBL PROTERRA FLORSIL, your turtles receive an ideal complete food. Of course, they are welcome to forage for greens and herbs in the summer to supplement their basic diet. The other JBL PROTERRA food varieties—VEGABIL, FRUCTIL, and HERBIL—provide an ideal and species-appropriate complement to JBL PROTERRA FLORSIL. Variety is always welcome for any tortoise.

Turtle species for which this food is ideal (examples):

• Coal Turtle
• Star Tortoise
• Panther turtle
• Broad-rimmed tortoise
• Greek tortoise
• Moorish tortoise
• Spurred tortoise
• Four-toed steppe tortoise

JBL expeditions often visit turtle habitats, whether in deserts or, even more frequently, in tropical wetlands. Observations of their behavior and feeding habits are incorporated into the development of JBL food products. This information, gathered directly from nature, is extremely valuable, as it is otherwise rarely available.
The goal should always be to care for the animals in a species-appropriate manner and, ideally, to breed them to reduce the need for wild-caught specimens. While captive breeding is not strictly necessary for some species—since commercially available specimens come from captive breeding or are not endangered in the wild—JBL nevertheless considers it desirable to breed pet animals in captivity.
