I even looked up Canadian online sites to order it, but no luck. Anybody know of any Canadian distributers or Quebec distributers?
What they sell now is crap. It may look better on paper...but it's not! I pay a premium to get the old recipe from various members here...
Brad Morris, who sold Tom and I our Sudans, made his own 'cuttlebone' from scratch...en masse. I'm going to do a little research here and try and come up with my own recipe for Mazuri...right down to making it a biscuit that can be rehydrated...the current Mazuri product cannot be hydrated, at all!
Really? I haven't seen it in SoCal in some time...
True, that is a lot for one small tortoise. I do have to say though, especially with a Greek, more broad leaf greens, and grasses. Romain is not the best. Can you get kale, collar, mustard, turnip, plantain, endive or dandelion up there?the shipping is a lot and I don't need 25lbs. It'll probably go bad before I feed my 3yr old greek all of it. Also, he's never eaten anything but romaine lettuce so I don't want to buy 25lbs to find out he won't eat it.
I have only had him since Friday and that's all he's eaten all his life. I went to a few stores and they had none of the above mentioned greens. So, I am continuing with the romaine until I find more greens and the tortoise food. I am also having surgery tomorrow and will be in the hospital for a few days, so I cannot continue the search for greens/food at the moment. So a few more days of romaine will have to do for now. It also makes me nervous to change his diet because she lived with a vet tech and she said anything else they gave him made his sick which is why they stuck to romaine. I am going to try anyways, but like I said it makes me nervous. He ate the romaine Saturday and Sunday. Sunday he also ate some cuttlebone, but he hasn't eaten since then. Not sure if the cuttle bone threw him off or what, but it's making me nervous.True, that is a lot for one small tortoise.

I will be home by the end of the month and will be putting in a large order, I would be happy to send you some via priority mail if can wait that long. All of my tortoises will eat it. I mix it up with their veggies. I do soak it briefly first. You have to be careful, as the birds also love it.
