Arcadia Optimised52 Tortoise Food 500g – High-Fibre Botanical Blend

Arcadia Optimised52 Freshly Pressed Tortoise Food is a 500g high-fibre food for land tortoises, made with an average blend of 52 grasses, herbs and flowers to reflect natural grazing.

• Average blend of 52 EU-grown grasses, weeds, herbs and flowers — adds variety to a plant-based grazing diet.
• Bee pollen, Arcadia ReVitaliseD3 minerals, calcium and probiotics — brings these ingredients together in the food.
• No nut-shell, maize, sunflower seed-husk or soya-husk fillers, and no artificial colours, flavours, scents or preservatives — keeps the formula focused on plant ingredients.
• Zoo-vet oversight and a low-waste formula — developed for practical use in land tortoise feeding routines.
• Can make up to 70% of the total diet, with 1–2 tiles recommended daily for each 400g of tortoise body weight — offers a clear feeding guide.

Land tortoises are natural grazers, and Arcadia Optimised52 is made to bring a varied botanical mix into their feeding routine. It is suitable for grassland tortoise diets, including routines for leopard, desert and sulcata tortoises. The formula is designed as a complete food option, while its recommended role is up to 70% of the total diet.

What ingredients make up Optimised52?

Arcadia Optimised52 combines grasses, weeds, herbs and flowers with bee pollen, minerals and probiotics. The plant blend averages 52 species and uses EU-grown botanicals, giving keepers a mixed-plant option rather than a food based on a single grass ingredient. Added Arcadia ReVitaliseD3 minerals and calcium are part of the formula, alongside probiotics.

• Plant-based botanical blend for grazing-style feeding.
• Bee pollen is included with the mineral and probiotic additions.

How can I feed the compressed tiles?

Feed Arcadia Optimised52 tiles dry or add water to rehydrate them into a soft plant mulch. When hydrated, the food expands into a grazing mix, so the same product can be offered in either a dry or softened form. The daily recommendation is 1–2 tiles for each 400g of tortoise body weight; the food can make up to 70% of the total diet.

• Choose dry tiles or rehydrate with water to create the softer mulch texture.
• Use the stated daily tile recommendation as the feeding guide.

What does the formula leave out?

Arcadia Optimised52 contains no nut shells, maize, sunflower seed husks or soya husks as fillers. It also has no artificial colours, flavours, scents or preservatives. These exclusions distinguish its ingredient approach from commercial tortoise pellets that use the listed filler ingredients; the food instead centres on grasses, herbs and botanicals.

• No artificial colours, flavours, scents or preservatives.
• No waste fillers from the named nut, maize, sunflower-seed or soya sources.

For keepers feeding grassland tortoises, including leopard, desert and sulcata tortoises, this food offers a varied botanical mix in a compressed tile format, with dry and rehydrated feeding options. Its plant blend, added minerals and probiotics, and stated portion guidance make it suited to structured grazing-based routines rather than diets that do not include land-tortoise food.
