Adding some chia seeds with mazuri?

[chin_lee]

I'm thinking of ways to increase fiber content of the mazuri mush I feed the torts. One way is I add Zoomed grassland pellets.
I was thinking about sprinkling chia seeds as well. Thoughts? I know the protein content is on the higher side for chia seeds but for the light sprinkling amount that I'm adding, I don't think the difference will be adversely significant.

While the Chia plant is safe to feed, the seeds are high in protein and phosphorus and should not be fed
