Primates generally consume about 2% to 4% of their body weight in food each day. The daily food allowance should be given in equal portions twice during the day to prevent wastage. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times. The use of fruit, vegetables or other supplements is optional and is not necessary. The date of product manufacture is found at the bottom of the back panel of the bag.
