Product Description

Simple food based on gammarus, ideal for feeding freshwater turtles and to support skeletal development.

Characteristics

Tartafood Gammarus (Shrimp) is a simple food specially designed for feeding freshwater turtles.

So-called natural foods are composed of 100% natural whole organisms. Supplementing the usual diet with natural foods is very important: not only is natural hunting and predation behavior visually and olfactoryly stimulated, but whole foods have also been shown to promote proper development and function. internal organs, especially in young, growing animals.

Turtles (aquatic) and tortoises (land) are characterized by a particular development of the spinal and dermal bones, which has led to the formation of the protective carapace. Due to their exceptional skeletal development, turtles and tortoises require significant amounts of calcium in their diet, which must be adequately balanced with phosphorus in a ratio of 4-6:1 for proper intestinal absorption. This is particularly essential for young, growing turtles and for females producing eggs.

The bioavailability of calcium in the feed is a very important parameter, since not all forms of calcium are suitable for turtles and tortoises. Since calcium is absorbed from the intestine only in the presence of adequate levels of vitamin D3, it is important to offer animals sufficient exposure to UVA and UVB rays so that they can synthesize the vitamin in their skin.

The feed produced by Prodac International is contained in biodegradable plastic cans, including the lid. "An act of love towards fish and the environment" is the definition the company has given to this unique result, achieved after years of investment in research. The cans do not require special treatments to initiate the decomposition process; they degrade completely in the presence of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria when they are thrown away. The product is Patented.
