Feeding Directions

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.

  • 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 that supplies sufficient UV radiation between the wavelengths of 280 and 315 nm. Proper humidity levels are also critical for health and growth of reptiles.
