My little guy came with a ziplock bag of mazuri. I've decided to offer once weekly, and they love it. I'm just not sure how much to feed? My baby is a 2in long, 12 week old greek. For regular every day feeding I give weeds, and just load a bunch in and they eat about their shell amount of the weeds...but with the mazuri being so dense I'm not sure what the right amount is. Last time I gave 1 pellet soaked and then offered weeds as well.

Tl;dr:
How much mazuri to offer a 2in long baby.

If you find he's eating it to the exclusion of the greens, then I'd cut back to every other week or so, but I think one soaked pellet a couple times a week would be ok.

I plan on only feeding once a week right now. He eats AMAZINGLY- every single weed I offer, so I don't want to mess with a good thing. Of course if I put mazuri in, he will immediately go for that like a kid with candy, haha. He is like that with flowers as well, heh.

I assume they eat enough green stuffs- today they have so far eaten a large violet leaf, dandelion leaf, 3/4 a plantain leaf, and is trying out some clover for the first time, at the moment.

So would one pellet soaked be a proper serving for a 2in baby?

It was free, he likes it, and I think it might be good to have him tske it in the winter months since I am in a VERY cold climate.
