Mazuri Tortoise Diet is one of the better manufactured diets. In my opinion, it should not be the main diet, but rather I feel it should be used occasionally. I feed my tortoises Mazuri once a week.

The fastest way I know to grow a tortoise is lots of Mazuri. I don't think it is the best way, All my torts get it about twice a week.

Rest easy. Mazuri is a fantastic product. I'll be ordering two more 25lb bags next week :)

The ingredients list impresses no one, but the results from feeding it impress everyone.

Its good stuff. I use it once or twice a week most of the time. But don't feel like you HAVE to feed it. You can raise a healthy tortoise without it, but I still think its a good supplement to add to a good diet.

My tort loves it. When he is in his hide when it's chow time and Mazuri is the main course, he can smell it and comes running for it! They love it, plus it's a good supplement! I recommend it 100%
