I've used Mazuri for years, but now - everytime I order a bag (25#) the bag is different.
I just ordered a bag of the small pellets (5E5M) as I have 4 smaller Box's in for rehab, and my 3 larger Sulcata's won't even try it. They look at me like I'm crazy.
So - I need to order a bag of their Bigger pellets. And, as the Bags are now not marked and HI have used both - What do you'll consider is better for them - the Mazuri 5E5L or the 5M21.?

The 5M21 is the original tortoise chow formula and the one most eaten.
The new bags are extra confusing.
You must now go by what the tag says, alone.
No more pictures on the bags.

Thank you - I wish Muzuri would settle on "Bags" and Formula Codes. Very confusing.
The old bags, the ones they had for years, had a picture of a crocodile and a tortoise and said "crocodilians and tortoises" on it.
These are just white bags. On the side of the bags in small print it says "used by zoo".
The tag is still red and still says 5M21 as before.

Yes, on the old Bags - I order a lot of feed from Mazuri and each bag said what it was mainly for.
Now, I wonder, if I can't keep the bags straight, if the guys filling them can.
Plus - the tags are on the bottom of the bags. Now I have to mark each 25 lb. bag as to who gets what and hope the factory put the right feed in the right bags.
Many of their pellets or mash look very similar.

That's also true.
Many of the CHOW pellets look alike.
