| FEEDING
GUIDELINES |
 Natural
Balance® Zoo Carnivore Diet
15
is an all stages diet and can be fed to growing and mature,
pregnant and convalescing animals. The amount fed should
be based on the animal's body weight, stage of growth,
and recommendations from your zoo nutritionist. Feeding
schedules should minimize exposure of the diet to high
ambient temperatures. It is recommended that you periodically
offer your animals Natural Balance USDA inspected beef
shank bones, with meat attached, to afford additional
enjoyment and exercise of the mouth and jaw structures.
If desired, the Zoo Carnivore Diet 15 can be mixed with
Zoo Carnivore Diet 5 to decrease the percentage of fat
being fed. |
