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.
