FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. Proper humidity levels are also critical for health and proper growth of herbivorous reptiles. Fresh fruits and vegetables may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.
