fifthdawn said:I got bored and compared the ingredients of Mazuri and Zoomeds. I compared the list with ZooMed's Forest diet.
ZooMed - This is what Zoomed had that Mazuri doesn't.
Suncured Timothy Hay, Fish Meal, Dried Papaya, Dried Mango, Escarole, Endive, saPaprika Extract, Dried Dandelion Greens, Sodium Bicarbonate, Soy Lecithin, Direct-Fed Microorganisms (Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Enterococcus faecium, and Aspergillus oryzae), , Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Fermentation Solubles, Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate, Garlic Extract, Anise Extract, Chinese Cassia Bark Extract, Ginger Extract, Horseradish, Juniper Extract, Natural Flavoring, Yucca schidigera, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of stabilized Vitamin C), Rosemary Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid, Silicon Dioxide, Niacin Supplement,
This is what Mazuri has that ZooMed doesn't
Ground corn. Ground oat, soy bean oil, salt, L-lysine, nicotinic acid, colbalt carbinate,
The items that they both had, I just crossed it off the list. Keep it mind this isn't exactly accurate. I cross off stuff that had similar name. Ex, Ground Soybean and Suncured Soybean. I considered them the same. Others were were different elements but purpose was both to provide Vit A, so I crossed those out as well. I think there were also stuff like zinc carbonate and zinc oxide, though I probably shouldn't but you get the idea of stuff I crossed out.
I'm starting to like what I see in the ZooMed pellets. I haven't compared it with the grassland diet, but I think the ingredients are almost the same. The forest had more since forest species have fruits in their pellets.
