The ground up stuff I don't do often because it is labor intensive.

Hello EJ and fellow members. I have been trying to find out if commercial pelleted tortoise food can be used daily or as the main course for Redfooted tortoises to grow smooth shells with no pyramiding and overall well formed and healthy tortoises. I have noticed that some breeders and web sites seem to have a better than thou and snobby when pelleted tortoise diets are mentioned. The breeders that my two Redfooted yearlings came from use about 60% Mazuri at every feeding. It looks like your getting great results. Tell me,how long have you been using your current Mazuri diet? This website is one of the most informative that I've found and I'm happy to be a member. Namaste, jackflash
I've been using the current schedule of feeding for about 3 years now.
