With our new PROTERRA range, we are focussed on healthy and balanced food for land, water and pond turtles. With nine different foods and five different supplements, we provide a NATURAL and VARIED diet for your turtles.
The PROTERRA food range for land, water and pond turtles covers the entire food spectrum of your pets. No matter whether herbivorous, omnivorous or carnivorous species. All feeding types will be completely satisfied. See for yourself!
Water turtles eat pretty much everything in their habitat. The natural food spectrum is therefore very diverse. Ideally, the four foods should be fed alternately and supplemented with fresh aquatic plants and live food or even defrosted shrimps or fish morsels. The higher the water temperature, the more plants get eaten! So if you want to limit plant eating somewhat, you should keep the water temperature at around 24-25 °C. Y
The diet for desert tortoises and Mediterranean species is identical. Dietary fibre is very important as it binds water in the intestine and increases the length of time it remains in the intestine. Some plants and fruits, such as strawberries, are okay if they are fed in moderation. JBL foods always contain a healthy amount of fruit. The main part of the food should consist of herbs (e.g. JBL PROTERRA HERBIL), as the phosphorus/calcium ratio here is a healthy 1:4. Fruit, flowers, etc. are always a welcome addition to the "main" herb food. Forest tortoise species may be given more fruit than desert and steppe tortoises. Dried food such as the four JBL foods can be soaked in water for a little while, as they then develop a stronger flavour and tortoises perceive it much better as food.
Die optimale Zusammensetzung für ein bestimmtes Futter wird durch Spezialisten der jeweiligen Schildkrötenarten, der Literatur und Erfahrungen aus der JBL Forschungsabteilung sowie Beobachtungen auf JBL Expeditionen ermittelt. Nach diesem Rezept werden die Zutaten zu einem „Futterbrei“ zusammengemischt und der Herstellungsstraße für Flocken oder Extrudate (Granulat, Wafer, Sticks) zugeführt.
JBL expeditions often visit turtle habitats, be it in the deserts or, even more frequently, in the wetlands of the tropics. Analysing the respective habitat of the animals is one of the most exciting activities of all. Where exactly do the animals live? What are the local soil conditions? What are the abiotic factors such as humidity, temperature and light? All such observations of the way of life, but also of the feeding habits, flow directly into the development of the JBL foods. This information directly from the wild is extremely valuable, as it is otherwise hardly available.
Our new JBL PROTERRA food range puts the PRO also into our land and aquatic turtle food range. This, of course, deserves to be celebrated properly. Get the chance to win unique prizes.
Look forward to 12 months packed with a DIVERSITY of prizes. From product packs and vouchers to unforgettable experiences. Every month there will be a new main prize and you will have the chance to win it.
For vital and healthy growth of terrarium inhabitants, it is advisable to supplement the main food used with important minerals and vitamins. In addition to liquid vitamin solutions and calcium powder, the complete food for feeder insects is a perfect supplement for the pets of all terrarium hobbyists.
