How we keep it responsible
Our tortoises always come first. The branches you give them are one of their favourite snacks, and they love it. Our team manages their feeding closely, rotates access, and keeps their habitat clean and in good condition every single day.
This is more than just feeding. It’s part of the daily care behind one of the largest captive herds of Aldabra giant tortoises. These tortoises are used to people and love the interaction. Feeding time becomes a moment where you connect with them, while we make sure everything is done in the right way for their wellbeing.
