ProRep Tortoise Block (95g) – Calcium Block with Vegetables & Prickly Pear

Calcium is one of the most important things to get right in tortoise care – it's fundamental to healthy shell growth and bone strength, and a steady supply matters far more than the occasional top-up. The ProRep Tortoise Block makes that genuinely easy, offering a practical calcium source enriched with natural plant ingredients that tortoises can graze on at their own pace within the enclosure.

Made with alfalfa, carrot, nettle powder, spirulina, and prickly pear alongside calcium sulphate, this isn't just a basic mineral block – it's genuinely well formulated, with added vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements that support overall wellbeing rather than just shell health alone.

Key Features & Benefits

Why We Rate This

A lot of calcium supplements come as a powder that needs dusting onto food, which works, but relies on you remembering to do it consistently. What we like about this block format is that it sits in the enclosure and your tortoise can self-regulate their intake, grazing on it as they would naturally forage for calcium-rich plants in the wild.

The ingredient list is also genuinely impressive for what's a relatively simple product on the surface – spirulina, prickly pear, and nettle powder aren't just filler, they each bring their own nutritional value alongside the core calcium content. Combined with the added vitamins and trace elements, this is a thoughtfully formulated supplement rather than a basic mineral lick.

Use as part of a balanced diet alongside appropriate UVB lighting and correct husbandry – calcium supplementation works best as part of a complete care routine, not as a standalone fix.
