I compared Zoo med grassland against Mazuri and zoo med'sseems to have a better Fiber/protein ratio than Mazuri. If so, why is Mazuri more popular? Check below:
Zoo med Grassland Guaranteed Analysis
Crude Protein (min) 8.5%
Crude Fat (min) 1.9%
Crude Fiber (max) 22.0%
Mazuri Guaranteed Analysis
Crude protein (min) 15.0%
Crude fat (min) 3.0%
Crude fiber (max) 18.0%

My Sulcata loves Mazuri, I tried the ZooMed and he wont touch it. I tried mixing it with Mazuri, or his greens and he just takes a bite and walks away. The ingredients in the Zoo Med look good, but my tortoise is just not interested in it.Mazuri produces excellent results and the tortoise usually love it, so it can be used to get them eating other good things too. ZooMed looks good on paper, but most tortoises don't care for it. I think the ZooMed Grassland tortoise food is an excellent way to amend grocery store greens and add some fiber and variety for people in frozen climates.

Sounds like good advice to me, for a while I was chopping up Orchard grass hay very small and wetting it down and he was not very interested in it at all. I started mixing the hay with the Mazuri, and he slowly got used to it. Now if I chop up a small handful of the hay and just mix in two or three Mazuri pellets he will eat it pretty good. I will keep trying with the Zoo Med.I think this is common. All of mine did the same thing. I had to introduce the ZooMed stuff slowly with tiny amounts at first. If you are persistent and don't try to use too much too soon, they will get used to it and come to like it.
I just cracked open some of the forest stuff for the redfoots. I tried to soften it in water but it took forever and just turned the outer layer into mush and the inner was still hard. It doesn’t moisten like mazuri. The redfoots immediately took to mazuri and as far as I know have never been fed it. The zoo med they barely touched.
