Nutritional advice
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.
• Fresh fruits and vegetables may be provided, but at no more than 20% of the total diet.
