Great threads Harley. Thanks for digging these up. This explains a lot about Ej for me. I wish he'd come back. I too am seeing some pretty amazing results from Mazuri. I agree with Kate, and the ingredients don't impress me, BUT I can't argue with real world experience and the fantastic results that I've seen over and over again.

But yesterday I topped their fruit, veggie and greens meal with a couple scoops of moistened Mazuri and that new little tortoise just went wild for it! She ate all of it that I put out for her.

Do you soften it with water first too? (Thanks!)
Hmmm, do you think I can get Mazuri at the store? (Thanks!)

yes i have to add water or they cant eat it
Oooo, link! Thank you!DeanS said:Mazuri is carried by most feed stores and is usually very reasonable...I pay $21 for a 25 pound bag. But there are a few here who offer a good deal for smaller amounts...try Cory for example...follow the link!

Let's see some pics :]
DeanS said:For those of you that want your torts to eat Grassland (or Mazuri, for that matter)...moisten it then mix it with your Spring Mix (Santa Barbara Mix is WAY better) and that should get them interested...
ChiKat said:DeanS said:Grassland is better for them...if you go strictly by the label. It contains EVERYTHING a tort should be eating naturally plus it includes a well-balanced supply of supplements, whereas Mazuri contains NOTHING a tort would find in the wild...although it sure does seem to accelerate growth.
Why are so many people seemingly obsessed with Mazuri? Why not just feed a natural diet?
I only feed my tortoise "real" greens/weeds/lettuce but if I were to choose between Grassland and Mazuri I suppose I would choose Grassland for the reasons you mentioned...
Again...the ONLY good thing about Mazuri is that it seems to accelerate growth...but this too should be done in moderation...I've seen 6 month old sucatas that are 10 inches long...but have terrible pyramiding...so it's really about getting the right combination (and frequency) of diet, heat, humidity...and SUNLIGHT!
