The quick-softening wheatgerm base is a thoughtful detail too, since it means less strain on their digestion at exactly the time they need it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeed 1-2 times a day when pond temperature drops below 10°C, offering only as much as the fish will consume within a few minutes.
