Mazuri...

[Hardway]

Is there any reason for me to feed it to my tortoise ? I generally let him eat weeds and grass for a couple of hours outside and eat some cactus and spring mix inside. This is his daily diet...would mazuri benefit him or is it unnecessary ?
Thanks

For those of us who live in climates where our tortoises can't graze year round, its nice to have something to fall back on besides grocery store greens. Mazuri isn't a necessity, its just something else to feed when "real" food is scarce.

I see. I have more grass in my backyard right now than I did during the summer...South Texas for you.

Florida is good also ,lol.

Great supp in moderation. We feed during egg laying season, always get great egg development.

I use it in the winter. like Yvonne said its a nice fall back

Just a nutritious supplement to add variety to their diets, at least, that's how I use it.

Ditto.

NOT "necessary", but I think it does them good as part of a balanced varied diet.

Agreed! It's also really great to see them chow on it-my little guy loves it as a treat!

More on topic than the Texas thing , you can always try Zoo Med grassland food. Its what I use because I looked up Mazuri's ingredients and it just didn't impress me at all.

I've not tried the mazuri, but Tory LOVES the zoo med grassland food! When I make up his food I toss in a half handfull and its always the first thing eaten! (Currently out, but due to the rather pricey nature of this stuff, my exotic pet store will allow me to buy in bulk... working out storage methods for it, its def. worth it to buy the bulk size)

I used to feed Mazuri every day but I have noticed during the colder days that my torts will eat all the greens and just some of the Mazuri so right now I am only feeding it a couple times a week and even then they don't eat it all.

I feed mazuri quite a bit in the winter month....
