One of the main problems in keeping lesser anteaters (Tamandua mexicana) in captivity is the formulation of an appropriate artificial diet. At “Miguel Álvarez del Toro” Zoo (ZooMAT), Chiapas, México, the lesser anteaters are fed with a mixture of chicken, orange juice, hard-boiled egg, vitamins, minerals, formic acid, and vinegar. Weak animals are sometimes allowed to naturally feed on termite mounds. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional value of the diet used at ZooMAT and compare it with the nutritional requirements for this species. Dry matter, fat, ash, crude fiber, and protein content of the mixture offered daily to the lesser anteaters were analyzed. The artificial diet covers the protein and energetic needs, while fiber contents are low. All lesser anteaters should be given access to termite mounds to increase fiber consumption. Furthermore, the change to a commercial diet for insectivores should be considered.
