Initially, I'd bought both to see which Morla liked more. Luckily, she hated them both equally....
As I continued to learn about Russian tort diets, I noticed Mazuri had higher protein--something I thought was supposed to be avoided. (And given her chronic kidney disease, I definitely must keep protein at a minimun, so I did not feed that one again without really finding out if the diffr was even signif enough to actually matter.) Also, Mazuri ingredients include alfalfa, which I thought torts were to avoid, in favor of Timothy hay.
Through tinkering, I've gotten Morla to love the Zoo Med (Grassland) pellets rolled into her greens (burrito), and they were highly recommended by a MN Herp Soc member very well known and respected in the group for his tort care/collection.
But it seems here everyone uses Mazuri. Is it just what your tort will eat? Is it better in some way (and if so, how?)? I noticed some of you mention LS. I have not looked into this formulation--how is it diffr?
I am looking forward to learning more about this...
