FAQs

What is the main benefit of Komodo Tortoise Hay Cookies with Dandelion?

The main benefits are providing extra fiber to aid digestion and the inclusion of dandelion, which is known to help boost a tortoise's immune system.

How often should I feed these cookies to my tortoise?

These are a complementary food and should be given as a treat. It is recommended to offer them sparingly, perhaps once or twice a week, as part of a balanced diet.

Can I feed these to all types of tortoises?

While generally suitable for herbivorous tortoises, it's always best to research the specific dietary needs of your tortoise species. They are primarily intended for species that eat hay and leafy greens.

How should I store the hay cookies?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ensuring the packaging is sealed after opening to maintain freshness.

What does 'complementary food' mean?

It means the product is intended to be fed alongside a tortoise's main diet, providing additional nutrients or enrichment, rather than being the sole food source.

Are the ingredients sourced locally?

Yes, the product is made with UK dried grass and dandelion.

How many cookies are in a 1kg pack?

A 1kg pack contains approximately fifteen Komodo Tortoise Hay Cookies with Dandelion.

Troubleshooting

Tortoise ignores the cookie

Try crumbling the cookie and sprinkling it on their favorite greens. Ensure the cookie is fresh and has not been exposed to moisture. Offer it during a time when your tortoise is most active.

Tortoise eats too quickly

If giving a whole cookie for enrichment, ensure it is placed in an area that requires some effort to access or break apart. Break into smaller pieces if giving as a supplementary food.

Digestive upset after consumption

Discontinue use immediately and consult a veterinarian. Ensure the cookie is being used as a treat and not a staple food, and that your tortoise has access to plenty of fresh water and appropriate main food sources.
