Feeding Directions
Primates, like guinea pigs and man, require ascorbic acid in their daily diet. The stability of vitamin C varies with environmental conditions; therefore, Leaf-Eater Primate Diet should be fed within 180 days of manufacture. Primates generally consume about 2% to 4% of their body weight in food each day.
Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.
Leaf-Eater Primate Diet may be soaked in fruit juice to soften the biscuits for infants or animals that have difficulty chewing. Fruit juice is recommended, because soaking the biscuits in water or milk more rapidly deteriorates the vitamin C. Leaf-Eater Primate Diet can be supplemented with fresh fruit and vegetables if this is desired to provide variety in the diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables should not provide more than one third (1/3^rd) the dry matter of the diet. Product beyond 180 days of age is nutritionally adequate, if in good condition, providing a supplemental source of vitamin C is given. The date of product manufacture is found at the bottom of the back panel of the bag.
