Mazuri Tortoise Diet

Has anyone had any experience with Mazuri? Is anyone using it?
What are your thoughts on it? Is it recommended as a supplement rather than a full diet program? How is it for Hermann's? Where can European Folk buy it?

I read about it last week, and was wondering if it would be worth buying.

RE: Mazuri Tortoise Diet

I use it and I know larger breeders that use it almost exclusively. My Hermanns devours it like a mad man, all of my Hermanns have. I have a Leopard that will not touch it and the Russians didnt care for it. My new Redfoots loved it too. I feed it 2-3 times per week alternating with greens/spring mix as a base diet. Of course other things are added in to each individual species' diet that are needed for them such as hay for my Leopard and fruits/proteins for my Redfoots.

You could check the manufacturer's website to see if its available for you over there. http://www.mazuri.com

Thanks Anja,
I've checked their website and, of course, "Shipping to international locations is not available". And there's not a single European Dealer listed, so I guess this is not even worth considering... Sad

RE: Mazuri Tortoise Diet

They do sell it on e-bay so you may be able to get it that way. I use it as a supplement. Cant say my greeks like it too much but they will eat a little of it.

We could look into seeing how much it would be to send you a pound or two. I buy it in 25lb bags.

RE: Mazuri Tortoise Diet

Keep in mind this food was developed for galapagos torts as a part of grass hay diet. I belive it would be fine for sulcatas and leopards, possibly testudo ( I have limited knowledge of these) and at best a waste of money for rainforest torts ( just saw a redfoot this weekend fed this and it was in poor shape). Luckly the owner read the feeding instructions on package and compared with diet of this tort and corrected the diet.

RE: Mazuri Tortoise Diet

Anja, Is there a reason for using the Mazuri? I thought that most people try to stay away from commercial tort foods. Or is that just some of the brands? I am thinking that if it is ok for them to have, I might like to have a bag here to feed now and then and in case of emergency. How is it fed and can you feed to hatchlings?
