I just bought a 25lb bag mazuri in my local store, the manufacture date is not printed clearly. Or is that the expire date? Do you guys think there is something wrong with it?
Mazuri package question
- Thread starter Jackyyyy
- Start date
Not sure what that is suppose to be. I would call them, Mazuri and ask.

I been told that's the new package they have now, and it's not specific for tortoise.

Yes, it is specific to tortoises. That red tag should say "Mazuri tortoise chow".
I wouldn't' worry about it being expired. This stuff lasts for a couple months if sealed in its bag, and they haven't been making those newly styled bags for very long. The new print only started showing up recently.

If you are looking for a place to buy it in 25lb bags down here let me know. I get them from my local feed store for $30 a bag.

Yes it does says its specific for tortoise on the red tag, but the new package just make me confused. The new prints only starts recently? So the date on the package Feb 18 15 must be the manufacture date?

Yeah, the new package was confusing for me the first time. It does suggest it is a generalized formula for "all reptiles". The red tags are what you have to look at.
As far as I am aware, yes, the new prints have only started recently. They only showed up locally here within the past few months, and I get a constant supply of here. Unless someone else comes along and states that the new print isn't "new" at all (it's possible it only showed up here recently, though I doubt it), then you should be fine as long as it being expired. This stuff stays good for quite some time. The new packaging is plastic-lined as well for more freshness. I wouldn't be concerned.

I just opened the bag, I thought the smell would be strong, but nothing comes out. I used to buy the 1lb, and I am familiar with the smell. This one is totally different.

Turtlepete, P.M sent.
Thanks to you both.
I didn't know the big bags existed.
I just spent $32 on two, two pound bags with shipping.

The red tag is the original formula and the new LS formula has a white tag, the bags are the same though.
Where in Canada did you find it? I live in Alberta, Canada and have never seen Mazuri for sale. I've also tried to order it online and it won't ship here. Does anyone know of Canadian retailers that carry it?

I live in Toronto, and I know two pet store carry it. It's hard to find in Canada and expensive. I can actually sell some to you since my little Sulcata it's not going to finish a 25lb bag within a year.
Thanks for your offer. I don't own a Sulcata but I've got a baby Red Footed tortoise and a Reeves turtle that I'd like to try some for. Is this the original formula? How much would you be willing to part with and how much would you want for it? Thanks for replying.

Yes it's the old formula 5m21 not the new LS one. You can have 6lb for $20 or 1lb for $5. Let me know thanksThanks for your offer.
