FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Aquatic Turtle Gel can be fed in combination with dry pellets, vegetables, and animal proteins such as insects and freeze-dried shrimp, and can make up as much as 50% of your reptile's intake. Consumption will vary based on species, life stage and environmental temperature. In general, growing or reproducing animals and those in warmer environments will consume more than older animals and those in cooler environment. When using other dietary ingredients, care must be taken to ensure total daily nutrient recommendations are achieved (e.g. proper gut loading or supplementing of items has been carried out). Feed intake will vary based on animal body size and life stage, level of activity and environmental temperature.
Prepared Mazuri Aquatic Turtle Gel Diet can be fed at a range from 0.5% to 4.0% of body weight per day to provide optimal nutrition. Never feed dry powder without first combining with water.
(1) Mix contents of package with 1-1/2 cup boiling (or at minimum 180 F) water. If only a portion of package is to be used at a time, mix, by weight, 65% boiling water to 35% Mazuri Aquatic Turtle Gel Diet. Adjust mixture to meet desired texture and need.
2) Mix thoroughly with a spoon, fork or whisk for one minute, then pour into a shallow pan and allow to cool.
3) Refrigerate until firm. Cut into pieces appropriately sized for the animals being fed.
