How to Use Armour Exotics Booster Pellets
β’Step 1: Prepare the Grass - Start by selecting fresh grass for your tortoise. The amount should be approximately double the size of your tortoiseβs shell, providing a good balance between their regular diet and the added pellets.
β’Step 2: Wash the Grass- Rinse the grass thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt, dust, or contaminants. Clean grass is essential for your tortoiseβs health, as it minimizes the risk of infections or digestive issues.
β’Step 3: Add Armour Exotics Booster Pellets - Next, add the Armour Exotics Booster Pellets to the washed grass. The recommended amount is 20% of the total grass mixture. For instance, if you have 100 grams of grass, mix in 20 grams of the Booster Pellets. This ensures that your tortoise receives a balanced meal with the additional nutritional benefits of the pellets. For Baby Tortoises: If youβre feeding baby tortoises, itβs important to soak the pellets in water until they become soft before mixing them with the grass. This makes the pellets easier for young tortoises to chew and digest, ensuring they get all the nutrients they need.
β’Step 4: Feed Your Tortoise
Once the grass and pellets are mixed, place the food in a shallow dish or directly on a clean surface where your tortoise can easily access it. Monitor your tortoise during feeding to ensure itβs consuming both the grass and the pellets, and always provide fresh water nearby.
Additional Tips

β’Observation: Pay attention to how your tortoise responds to the pellets. If you notice any changes in appetite or behavior, consider adjusting the feeding regimen.
β’Veterinary Advice: If you have any concerns about your tortoiseβs diet or specific health needs, consult a reptile veterinarian for tailored advice.
