reconstituted food feeding guide
1 ounce of freeze-dried food requires 2 ounces of water to reconstitute. Texture will depend
on the amount of time food and water is mixed together. To completely re-hydrate, leave
the food soak in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours
feeding without soaking in water
If you choose not to re-hydrate the food it is very important to have plenty of fresh, clean water available.
