Gum Arabic 500g

Complimentary feed for gumivore species. Suitable for a variety of gumnivorous animals including bush babies, fork-marked lemurs, sugar gliders, marmosets, and tamarins. Gum is an essential component of the natural diets of many primate species. For instance, bush babies consume 35-75% gum along with animal prey and fruit. The fork-marked lemurs primarily feed on gum, supplemented by fruit, sap, and a small percentage (10%) of animal matter. Marmosets have a diet that includes 5-16% gum alongside insects and fruit. Tamarins also incorporate 9% gum into their natural diet, but their main intake consists of fruit and insects. Key Features:

• A natural gum (known as gum acacia) sourced from two sub-Saharan species of the acacia tree, Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal.
• Natural product showcasing a brown color.
• Gum arabic is a complex blend of saccharides and glycoproteins.
• Rich in fiber content.
• Perfect for use as enrichment material.

Instructions: The product is available in powder form and should be mixed with a suitable amount of water, using a spoon for blending. A recommended ratio of 1 part water to 2-2.5 parts arabic gum will yield a solid structure after allowing it to dry for three hours. Size: 500g
