Please note that with all fresh fruits, vegetables, and other

sugars, chocolates or caffeine. All fruits and vegetables should
be washed with a fruit and vegetable cleaner from your local
supermarket. It really does make a difference! Some fruits and
vegetables such as apples, strawberries, and cantaloupe may
contain extremely high amounts of pesticides. This can vary
depending on the time of year and country that the foods are
being imported from. It is strongly recommended to feed
organically grown foods. Caution: Remember to remove any
uneaten fresh food from the cage before it spoils.
