That's great! I think Mazuri is a good way to make sure one's tortoises stay well hydrated. Of course, being soft, it offers no resistance to wear down the beak, but that's what tough vegetables and cuttle bones are for.

Thanks. I feed them Mazuri Tuesday-Saturday, Sunday hibiscus/spring mix etc etc and Monday is off day. Basically feed them very well 6 days a week.
Every Sunday I let them graze around in my compound under the sun for about an hour.
I soak them once a week for about 10 minutes which helps them poop. After the soak they get a scrub down with a soft toothbrush to get rid of some poop stuck on their plastron etc etc.

Very nice pics.
But I'm curious, won't the soup cause runny stools?
