Feeding Directions
• Tortoises will generally consume 1% to 4% of body weight per day (total diet), although food intake will vary due to environmental temperature, activity, and life stage.
• Provide good quality forage such as grass hay or non-toxic browse and fresh clean water daily. Fresh fruits and vegetables may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.
• 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.
• 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.
