Default Repashy CGD

Hello, i have received my repashy 2 part diet today for my crestie. Does anyone knoe if i need to keep the dry powder itself in the fridge, or will it last just as long kept in a kitchen cupboard? Also, when preparing the diet it says use 60 40 by weight, however i do not have scales. Dopes anyone have any suggestions??

Thankyou

Tommy

Isn't it supposed to be 60/40 if you DON'T feed live food as well? 50/50 if you do?
I only ask as I just got a crestie and that is the proportions I have been advised to do...
As far as I am aware, the dry powder doesn't need refrigeration.

yes 60/ 40 with no live foods is adequate.

No it doesn't have to be kept in the fridge. I normally keep the foil packets sealed in the cupboard. When made up I keep it in the fridge but it doesn't need to be. It is 50/50 or 60/40 by weight not volume so you really need scales when making it up. Can you not borrow some and make a load of it up.

Yes it 60/40 if you don't feed bugs and 50/50 if you do.
