Feeding Directions
- Feed tortoises between 1 – 4% of their body weight per day.
- A
10 lb. (4.5 kg) tortoise will typically consume between 1/2 cup (45 g)
to 2 cups (180 g) per day depending on activity level, environmental
temperatures, and life stage.
- It is not necessary to
moisten pellets with water. However, soaking the product may help to
acclimate tortoises to the diet. If moistened, the diet should be
replaced at least twice daily.
- Provide good quality forage such as grass hay or browse and fresh, clean water daily.
- Fresh fruits and vegetables may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.
- Thoroughly
wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good
practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling animals.
This diet is not for human consumption.
Important:
Always provide reptiles with adequate natural light or a light source
that supplies sufficient UV radiation between the wavelengths of 280 and
315 nm. Proper humidity levels are also critical for health and growth
of reptiles.
Storage Conditions
For best
results, reseal the bag between uses or store contents of open paper
sack in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75⁰F/24⁰C or
colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location free from rodents and
insects. Do not offer moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may
result in illness, performance loss or death. Freezing will not harm
the diet and may extend freshness. Use within 1 year of bag
manufacturing or "Best if Used By" date.
