Feed animal's approximately 1-4% of body weight per day, on a dry matter basis. Feed consumption will vary with environmental temperatures, level of activity and animal life stage. Mazuri Small Tortoise Diet LS should be a quarter to half (25 to 50%) of the total daily intake, with grasses and produce for the remaining portion. It may be necessary to soften Mazuri Small Tortoise Diet LS with water until the animals become acclimated to the diet. If moistened, the diet should be replaced at least twice daily. Provide animals with good quality fresh grass, or hay for small tortoises. Fresh produce food items - greens, vegetables and fruits - may be included in the daily food offering, but should be no more than half (50%) of the total diet. Fruit or high sugar vegetables: Offer no more than 5% by weight of total diet. Use vegetables and greens low in oxalate like kale, turnip greens, and squash until the animals become acclimated to diet.
Transition tortoises to Mazuri Tortoise LS after 1 year of age or when they are able to eat a larger particle size

Questions
Is this safe for tengus? Since there omnivores also or is it strictly for turtles ?
I would like to know if the tortoises experience any side effects from this food, I dont know if the chemicals in this food are toxic or not.
- I've been feeding my 10 yr old and 6 month old Leopard tortoises this their entire lives and never an issue. I feed this in addition to their leafy greens and veggies as well as foraging outside in the grass. I also use Mazuri aquatic turtle feed for my aquatic turtles as well and Mazuri mini pig active adult for my 4 4yr old mini pigs and absolutely never an issue.

Hello there! I have a tortoise, a red eared slider type which doesn't want to eat. She's around 1 3/4 years old. When she was still want to eat, we gave her small fishes. Now she doesn't want to eat or even open her eyes. Her eyes actually healthy. I have been giving her bottled milk for past 3 months. I think she has some kind of digestive infection. Please help, doctor. If you can, please recommend me any medication I can get around. Thank you very much.

Hi, my hatchling red foot tortoise has a problem with keeping his eyes open for very long, he hasn't been eating as much as usual and when he closes his eyes I have to soak him in water to get him to open them back up. When his eyes close it almost looks like they are crusty. I have a cypress mulch and jungle mix substrate in his cage which is about 4 inches at the highest and 1 inch in his basking are but it's kept well watered. Thank You!
