You're welcome anytime! Not many people have heard of Grenada, but it's a beautiful little gem.

Will said:Yellow Turtle, I don't use the Mazuri so much at all. I am confused about what it is to some extent. I was given a small bag and that looks like a yellow dog food in size and shape, then recently on an LLL reptile ad, the image on the plastic bag looks like a pellet. Either way it is not well received by my tortoises. Fed as whole moistened piece or mashed up and mixed into greens, they don't seem to care for it.
I do infuse much chopped fresh grass or wetted dry grass into all salads, and that seems to be mission critical to the proper absorption of all nutrients. If you don't see whole undigested bits of grass in the feces, there is not enough grass in the diet, no matter the species or age/size. That is a eat it or starve salad (tough love) ingredient for my animals. Leaves with big veins like mulberry and hibiscus do this as well, I do not yet have experience with the topic trees' leaves to know how that will "come through".
The rice hulls in the ZooMed and Mazuri don't qualify as long fiber. They better approximate seeds as roughage for digestion processes, not long fiber.
