- Feed tortoises approximately 1-4% of 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.
- 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.
