The Tortoise Den seed balls are a mini eco-system that are made from 21 varieties of edible plant species. This eco-system protects the seeds and prevents them from being eaten by birds, insects, ants and slugs.

Simply throw your seed balls on to soil or peat free compost in the garden bed, planter or pot. Leave a gap between each seed ball, once watered and the temperature is good, your seed balls will germinate, sprout then grow and provide your tortoise with a beautiful choice of fresh food.

No expert knowledge or digging required!

His Majesty King Charles III has approved a one-off bank holiday for the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Monday 19th September.

Due to this bank holiday, we will be joining the rest of the United Kingdom and the world in mourning. Therefore, as a sign of respect we will be closed for business and will not be despatching any parcels on this day. Normal business will continue to resume on Tuesday 20th September.

Our thoughts are with the members of the Royal Family at this particularly sad and upsetting time.

If the sun's out, get 'em out! Your tortoise that is! 🐢☘️🌿🌱☀️

As a general rule, if it's t-shirt weather then it's tortoise weather. Tortoise's love to bask in the natural heat of the sun and you can turn off any indoor lighting whilst they are outside, saving a few pennies so it's beneficial all round.

It is essential that when spending time outside, your tortoise has access to clean, fresh water and some shade to enable them to escape from the sun and cool down if they wish.
