I had a bag that was opened and placed in a feed hopper.
I can't say if it went "bad". But you'll need a sealed container unless you like a house full of tiny moths.
In a period of 2 weeks, at least a thousand moths flew out of my hopper.
Now I use 3 gallon TUPPERWARE containers

The 5M21 red label is what generally works well.
Even though a few weirdos do eat the L.S.
I threw an entire bag of that away.
The new bags no longer have the picture of the crocodile and tortoise. It's just plain and white and says "used by zoos".
I haven't seen the new bag yet. That would have thrown me off if I didn't know it was coming. I would have been double checking the numbers and triple reading the little tag...

Now all the bags look identical. And as you probably already know, many of the different types have a red label.
My feed store has several stacks all mixed. Koi food...Pig food....Monkey food...Tortoise food. And it was on the bottom.
Fun.
Sorry. I should've taken a photo of the bag.

That's what I have is the 5m21. The feed store here carries the 5m21 but were out. I bought a small bag online. I give Opo 7 pellets twice a week.

Haha. I replace the plaintain weed in my Tort's enclosure about every four days. It is his favorite graze.
I will try that I just setup a temporary outside enclosure and need to plant some edibles. Is the plantain weed available online?

That’s a very good idea Ray, how much do you reckon it will cost?
Not sure I will check it out at the post office.
Like ZEROPILOT said we would have to keep it coming.

I recall someone recently posting what the UK equivalent of Mazuri is...

Shipping pounds of mazuri to the UK from the US is going to get expensive very quickly. Id check into what this product is..

In Europe, the Mazuri brand cannot be sold by commercial sources as that brand is liscensed for N. America. In Europe they have it branded as NutraZu. In the US we get the Mazuri 5M21. In Europe, the exact same food is Nutrazu 50J3

So, it IS ACTUALLY the same?
That's fantastic if true.
