  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.
• Thoroughly wash feeding and watering bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to
  wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling pets. This diet is not for human
  consumption.

IMPORTANT: A feeding program is only as effective as the management practices followed. Always provide reptiles with adequate natural light or a light source which supplies sufficient UV radiation between the wavelengths of 280 and 315 nm.
