So a bag of Mazuri Zoo Foods Exotic Leaf Eater pellets arrived today for Om, my baby Greek spur thigh. I got them off eBay UK because the seller ships internationally and I couldn't find anyone selling the standard Mazuri who does.
Here's the datasheet for standard Mazuri:

and here's the one for the ZooFood pellets:

They don't seem to be identical, and I'm curious to get an opinion from someone more knowledgeable about whether one looks better than the other.
It will be interesting to see what Om thinks....

Mazuri has tortoise, turtle, alligator/crocodile, etc. foods.
The "regular" formula for land tortoises is the one with the red label.
There is also a tortoise formula that is type L.S. and most tortoises do not like it much.
Personally, I've never seen or even heard of the Mazuri zoo formula. But I've heard that zoos do feed Mazuri.

The leaf eater formula is for primates. I wouldn't feed it to a tortoise.
