I've taken photos for newbies on how to prepare Mazuri and how easy it is to add chopped veggies, supplements and medication.
In this case there is some type LS mixed in and some Diatomacious Earth and REPASHY mineral supplements.
I often also add chopped greens whipped up in a food processor.
It stops the "picking and choosing" and results in everything being eaten.

Most of my tortoises aren't real thrilled with Mazuri. The Aldabran tortoises eat it like it was going out of style, but all the others just pick around it. And if I add it to a mixture, they don't eat that day.

Thanks for sharing this process with us. Hopefully it will get some extra nutrition into those stuck on feeding only one or two things.

My torts also will pick through if mazuri is mixed with greens. I always add the calcium to it though to make sure they get it. It's my fault, I gave them straight up mazuri, I wished I mixed it from the get go.
