This text collates detailed articles and papers on the dietary management of tortoises and turtles. It addresses the problems that every keeper faces when attempting to provide optimum diets in captive situations. The topics covered include: the causes and prevention of "lumpy shell syndrome" and bone deformities; calcium and the D3 metabolism; protein and energy requirements; miscellaneous trace elements; the role of vitamins and supplements; wild foods for captive tortoises; grasses and hay for savannah species; feeding box and wood turtles; and growing perfect hatchlings. The photographs show the incorrect and correct development of tortoises and turtles.
