How do you get your torts to eat Mazuri food? My torts avoid pellets and only eat veggies.

redkim said:I read the ingredients and other that there being vitamins (which many lose potency quickly in pelleted/bagged feeds I don't see anything that relates to a sulcata. In fact the protein looks high.
So maybe for sulcatas this should not be used? Or only like Yvonne does, when it's needed and once a week?
For vitamins I will occasionally sprinkle a vitamin powder for the big torts on his food but only once or twice a week.
What have other people experienced with Mazuri and sulcatas?
redkim said:I have been trying to get an exact figure on the percentage of protein that is allowable and so far no luck. What I have found is that alfalfa hay should not be fed to sulcatas due to the high protein. Alfalfa is about 16% protein, the Mazuri food listed protein at 15%. Plus in the ingredients it is only soy, corn, alfalfa - these are all no-no's as I have been told. So that's why I stayed away from the Mazuri.
I would love to know if it is good for them as I very much believe in the Mazuri name. I currently feed Mazuri to my ferrets and when I worked in zoos and with exotics, Mazuri was everywhere for everything!
When I go to websites like sulcata station.com they all warn that diets high in protein will cause pyramiding and renal issues. EJ - as you have been doing this with your sulcata it's obviously been doing fine . . . who knows what to do? Wonder what the protein content in African grasses are?
