Tetrafauna® Reptile Food~Tetrafauna reptile foods are formulated to be of an exceptionally high quality, reflecting both the natural diets of reptiles and the specific challenges of keeping them in captivity. They provide an appropriate balance of essential nutrients (calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D3 etc) for healthy growth and development. They are designed to make it easier for consumers to keep their reptiles successfully, whilst at the same time delivering profitable sales.~~~29521~29527~~

Tetrafauna® Staple Food~~~~29521~29539~~

Tetrafauna® ReptoMin®~Complete diet for aquatic turtles, now with ActiveFormula. Easy-to-eat stick food formulated to match the carnivorous natural diet of aquatic turtles.~• optimum calcium to phosphorus ratio (3.5:1) for healthy bone and shell growth
• ActiveFormula for increased resistance and vitality
• contains a high proportion of easily digestible proteins
• sticks are highly digestible, meaning less water pollution and more nutrition

Already a popular food for aquatic turtles, the ReptoMin formula has now been made even better with the inclusion of ActiveFormula. ReptoMin is a complete diet for aquatic turtles, for good health, vitality and resistance:

• Low-waste formula - ReptoMin comes in the form of specially extruded sticks, which are highly digestible. This keeps waste production to a minimum, helping to maintain clear and clean water with minimal maintenance.
• High protein and energy content - to reflect the naturally carnivorous diet of most aquatic turtles, ReptoMin contains a high proportion of easily digestible protein and energy.
• Calcium to phosphorus ratio of 3.5:1 - to ensure healthy bone and shell growth, without the need for additional dietary supplementation.
• Patented ActiveFormula - ActiveFormula is a patented combination of vitamins and immunostimulants, which strengthen the immune system against common infections. It also improves the efficiency with which the food is utilised, leading to less waste production.

ReptoMin should be fed 2-3 times a day, only as much as your turtle can consume within a few minutes. ReptoMin can also be used as a main part of the diet for aquatic newts and frogs, provided they are species that will consume dry foods.

For additional variety, feed Tetrafauna Gammarus 2-3 times a week.~55g|27050|110g|27051|~29521~29526~~

Tetrafauna® Tortoise~Complete diet for tortoises. High-fibre / low protein formulation based on natural diet of herbivorous tortoises.~• developed in conjunction with leading veterinarians to ensure correct format and formulation
• low protein (9%) and high fibre (22%) levels to match natural diet, and to maintain proper fermentation process in intestine
• correct calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 levels for healthy shell and bone growth
• no need for supplementation with fresh foods, making feeding much easier (if fresh foods are used in large quantities these should be enriched with ReptoCal or ReptoLife)

Tetrafauna Tortoise is a complete diet for tortoises, developed and tested in conjunction with specialist reptile veterinarians and zoos in Germany. It is one of the only diets on the market that is correctly formulated for the special dietary needs of tortoises:

• Correct levels of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 - Tetrafauna Tortoise contains the correct ratio of calcium to phosphorus (2:1) for healthy shell and bone formation, along with sufficient vitamin D3 to ensure its proper absorption. This helps to avoid common nutritional disorders, such as metabolic bone disease.
• High inclusion of plant proteins - to reflect the naturally herbivorous diet of most tortoises, Tetrafauna Tortoise contains proteins of plant origin. Only a very small amount of protein from fish meal is included, to ensure that a good supply of amino acids is provided.
• Low protein level - to reflect the natural diet of herbivorous tortoises, and ensure healthy growth and condition.

Typically, dry diets for tortoises are too high in protein and do not match their natural diet. Because the digestive physiology of most tortoises is not evolved to cope with excess protein, this can lead to various health problems:
Uric acid accumulation - the by-product of protein metabolism in tortoises is uric acid, which they secrete as crystals. This helps to conserve water in the arid environments from which many of them come. This works because the protein content of their natural diet is typically low (less than 10%), and so the amount of uric acid that needs to be eliminated is low. Dry diets that contain too much protein can lead to an accumulation of uric acid, and in worst cases kidney failure. Tetrafauna Tortoise contains a protein level of 9%, and is therefore much closer to the natural diet and will avoid problems associated with uric acid excretion.

Shell / bone deformities - excess protein can encourage rapid growth rates in tortoises, which in turn can lead to the incorrect development of the shell & bones. This is especially problematic if the diet is also calcium deficient, or contains the wrong calcium to phosphorus ratio. The low protein content of Tetrafauna Tortoise therefore ensures controlled, healthy growth.

• High fibre level - to match the high-fibre content of natural diets eaten by herbivorous tortoises. The digestive system of many tortoises is designed to cope with high levels of fibre. This fibre is stored in enlarged portions of the intestine, sometimes for weeks at a time. It exists as a complex lattice, where special intestinal micorflora live. These microflora break the fibrous food down, releasing nutrients from it. Feeding a diet that is low in fibre can lead to the breakdown of this fibrous lattice, the loss of intestinal microflora, and ultimately diarrhoea and fluid loss.

Tetrafauna Tortoise contains a high fibre content (22%) to ensure the maintenance of the fibrous lattice, and a healthy digestive system.

• Special 'cob' format - the special cob format, specially developed for Tetrafauna Tortoise, is designed to be especially palatable for tortoises. Unlike many tortoise foods which are in the form of hard, dry pellets, it can be easily moistened to provide an attractive, naturally-textured food.

Tetrafauna Tortoise has been formulated based on the latest scientific understandings of tortoise nutrition, coupled with extensive testing at independent universities and zoos. It offers a complete, properly balanced diet for healthy growth and condition.

Tetrafauna Tortoise should be slightly moistened before feeding, and only give as much as your tortoise can consume within 12 hours. Any uneaten food should be removed after this period. Tetrafauna Tortoise is designed to be fed as the main part of your tortoise's diet. If you do feed a lot of additional fresh foods (e.g. certain herbs and grasses), then these need to be supplemented with Tetrafana ReptoCal or ReptoLife to maintain a correct nutrient profile. ~90g|27052|180g|27053|~29521~29537~~
