That is a repackaged portion. It does look like the right stuff but it doesn't have the NutraZu product number on it. But I would bet that is exactly what you are looking for.

YES - the NutraZu 50J3 is EXACTLY the same product and formula as the Mazuri 5M21. In fact, it you look up Nutrazu's website and look for the tortoise diet - you get this product discription even still using the 5m21 formula code.

Purina Mills is the parent company and owns the trademarks for Mazuri in N America and Nutrazu in Europe.

Thank you Mark, shelled warriors is a reliable seller for tort products here in the uk so I’m confident that they sell the same stuff. I’ll do some more research aswell.

We need to pin this information.
(I've requested it)

 

[Ben02]

I can get 2Kg for £30 (About $38) does that sound reasonable?
Should I buy a smaller bag first just to check if they will eat it?

No
2kg is about 4 lbs?
If that's correct. It's crazy expensive.
Here I pay $41 for 25 lbs. (Over 11 kg)
That must be the marked up price from some "middleman" seller that buys in bulk and re packages the stuff.
All things being equal. The 25 lb bag should be about 33 pounds. U.K.
You'd be over spending a lot just out of convenience.

 

[Ben02]

I think it’s more expensive because it is still imported from the US.

 

[Ben02]

There are two distributors on their website I can contact, I may do that.

Good luck Ben02 hope it works out for you.

Do these ingredients look ok/correct?

Yes.

I bought a small pack of Nutrazu to see if they like it before I invest in a larger bag. Should come this week, I hope they like it.

I’ll start it off slow and add a couple bits to their food a couple times a week. We don’t want them becoming Mazuri Junkies!!

One question though, do you store it like any other tortoise pellets or do you have to seal it shut?

I just keep it in a sealed sandwich bag at room temperature.

I don’t think there is any actual right or wrong way. We keep our 25 lbs in plastic scre on lid canisters. Keeps it dry. Just keep it out of moisture/no humidity...etc.

Ok I will keep it out of the reptile room, way to humid in there. I think a plastic tub or sandwich bag will work better for me. Thanks a lot.

I started by hiding it in the middle of a pile of zucchini. He paused when he got to it sniffed it and continued eating. Did that a few more times just to make sure. Now I put it in a separate dish.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I stopped feeding Mazuri because I was down to just the one tortoise and the Mazuri I had left became full of moths.
Now that I'm keeping 4 of them, I re introduced it into the feeding routine and to my shock....It's the last thing that gets eaten out there.
Maybe its because of the summer feeding menu being heavy on the fruit? I don't know. But twice now, I've had to remove it only partially eaten.

 

[Ben02]

Would you believe it, they cancelled my nutrazu order. I received an email saying “refunded £4.50” and no explanation given!

I’ll try again and if the same happens I’ll look else where. They obviously don’t want my money.
