Feeding Directions

Feed to insectivores at a rate of at least 50% of their daily dry matter intake. Feed intake will vary based on animal body size and lifestage, level of activity and environmental temperature.
- Acceptance may be increased by initially soaking the extruded Mazuri® Insectivore Diet in water (2 parts water:1 part dry diet) to transition animals that are used to soft/moist diets.
- After 1-2 weeks on soaked diet, move to 1 part water:1 part dry diet, and 1-2 weeks later, offer dry diet.
  - If moistened, replace diet twice a day.
Prepared Mazuri® Insectivore Diet – Meal should be fed out as directed by your veterinarian. Never feed dry powder without first combining with water.
- Combine with hot water; adjust mixture to meet desired texture and need.
- Mix thoroughly with a spoon, fork or whisk until consistency is uniform, and administer as directed by your veterinarian.
If feeding live insects to the animal, ensure the insects are gut loaded prior to feeding out.

This diet may contain excessive iron for species that are susceptible to iron storage disease like hornbills.
