NEVER FEED DRY PRODUCT. Aquatic Turtle Gel can be fed in combination with dry pellets, vegetables, and animal proteins such as insects and freeze dried shrimp and can make up as much as 50% of your reptile's intake. Consumption will vary based on species, life stage, and environmental temperature. In general, growing or reproducing animals and those in warmer environments will consume more than older animals and those in cooler environments.
1. When using other dietary ingredients, care must be taken to ensure total daily nutrient recommendations are achieved (e.g. proper gut loading or supplementing of items has been carried out).
2. Feed intake will vary based on animal body size and life stage, level of activity, and environmental temperature. A targeted intake level would be 0.5% - 4% powder per kg of animal by body weight per day (never feed dry powder without combining with water).

• Remove uneaten gel daily, and always provide plenty of fresh, clean water
• Prepared gel should be consumed or discarded within 24 hours or stored no longer than 7 days under refrigeration or up to 1 month frozen.
• If frozen, it is recommended that frozen batches be individually sealed in amount of usage, as repeated entry into the container exposes gel to oxygen

The mixed product should be stored under refrigeration for no longer than 7 days or frozen for up to 1 month. It is recommended that frozen batches be individually sealed in amount of usage, as repeated entry into the container exposes gel to oxygen.
