Zoo med grassland food

[ckidd_1999]

Is the zoo med grassland tortoise food good to feed your tort?? Iv been feeding it to him but he won't eat it. He just eats the veggies and weeds. Anything else I could feed him?

What is mazuri and where can I get it? What's it made of?

The Zoo med food is good, but most torts won't eat it plain and dry. My big sulcatas will, but other smaller tortoises usually don't eat it dry for me. Try soaking just a few pellets ands then mixing it in with some finely chopped leafy greens. Over time your tortoise will get used to the taste, smell and texture, and you'll be able to increase the ratio of ZooMed to greens if you wish.

My russian hated them. Soaked or not. I had to return them. Petco was cool about returning it even though I lost the receipt.

I had no idea PETCO had them..mazuri is a good addition to your torts diet. Most feed 2 times a week. You can mix with zoo med. With your chopped greens, or by its self..but, be aware..they sometimes will be addicted to it so just be careful...

Well up here in Alaska they have it. Cant say about other states.

When I first got my redfoot Koopa I bought some of the Zoo Med Forest Tortoise diet, and she wouldn't touch it no matter what I did. Recently I ran out of greens for her and had no way to run out to get more at that moment so I dug out the Zoo Med again and she devoured it! Now I soak some and mix it with her greens and she loves it!

Hunger is a good motivator.

I was just talking about this on my own thread! I think I'm going to buy some for my red foot as we can't get Mazuri in the UK
