FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Feed along with fresh, clean water. Plant eating reptiles will consume 1-4% of bodyweight per day, although food intake will vary due to environmental temperature, activity, and life stage. Diet may be fed dry, soaked, or mixed with greens and/or salad. Transition tortoises to Mazuri Tortoise LS at 1 year of age or when they are able to eat the larger particle size. Appropriate supplemental food items should be provided to your reptile. Always provide quality forage such as fresh hay or browse. Produce should consist primarily of leafy greens, with fruit and high sugar vegetables limited to 5% or less of total diet to minimize GI tract disturbances. Offer vegetables and greens low in oxalate like kale, turnip greens and squash.
