Directions
Feed Herbivore Pellets as a supplement to pasture, hay and browse. Feed rate will depend on species, size, energy requirements and quality of other foods consumed. Introduce pellets gradually into the diet to avoid sudden digestive upset. Water intake may increase when feeding pellets, so always ensure that fresh water is available.
