Hi Bank:

I don't keep redfoots myself, but I am babysitting a couple for a friend who is in China for a bit. They eat everything, but they really get into the Mazuri when I offer that to them.

Yeah, I'd have to say that Mazuri seems to be my RFs' favorite as well. Obviously, they eat other things, but they lick the plate clean if its Mazuri!

I think over all the most favorite item is going to cantaloupe/muskmelon.

Papaya, and strawberry tops. Probably because it's a treat for them and fed very sparingly. They go nuts for papaya, when I give it to them.

Mango for most but I have one that will chew your fingers off at the chance of mushroom .... Strawberrys are popular... Same as above, they like the rarity

Mine love Mazuri and go crazy for bananas when I give it to them sparingly.

Mine both go crazy over figs. The trees are full now, but still not ripe. They eat them all Summer, and the box turtles love them too. My Dad's box turtles sat under the fig tree all Summer and would fight over any that dropped off the tree. Pio also loves worms and I see him digging in the leaf pile by his hide, searching for some every day.

It is hard to say - it would be a toss up between watermelon, worms, mango, and mazuri. He won't turn down mushrooms, strawberries, bananas or green beens. Oddly enough, he hates and will refuse tomatoes.

With mine, it would probably be a tie between mazuri, and mango.

Wow my rf would just step over greens if it sees or smell tomatoes. Now i am trying to mix everything together to get her some greens. She has no problem about fruits though

No. 1 for mine would be watermelon. Mazuri comes in a close 2nd. They only get the watermelon once a month, and Mazuri once a week, so they're all over those when we give them those treats.

Pro plan protein cat food, they act like they have never ate before in their life. The bigger tort seems to like orange/red/green bell pepper very well.

Just rub it in! :D I had worked so hard to find fig trees last year and they did fine. I wintered them all but one inside. I took the fig trees outside later this spring then I wanted to due to weather. Once out they all seem to have died. :( The one planted outside is just starting to appear, he like a foot tall now. So Terry ... :p :D

Is there a difference between Mazuri and zoo med forest tortoise food?
Where do you buy the Mazuri?
