Feeding Directions: Primates, like guinea pigs and man, require ascorbic acid in their daily diet. The stability of vitamin C varies with environmental conditions; therefor, Mazuri Leaf-Eater Primate Diet should be fed within 180 days of manufacture.
Primates generally consume about 2-4% of their body weight in food each day. Mazuri Leaf-Eater Primate Diet can be supplemented with fresh fruit and vegetables if this is desired to provide variety in the diet. Using typical fruits, vegetables, and browse, a feeding program on an "as fed" basis would consist of 60% fruits/vegetables/browse and 40% Leaf-Eater Primate Diet. Mazuri Leaf-Eater Primate Diet may be soaked in a 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. Fresh clean water should be available at all times.
