The gentlemen that have previously posted have far more experience then I, but I have fed Mazuri crocodilian diet to broad snout caiman, adult and juvenile alligators, and adult Siamese crocodiles and they all accepted it quite well. I did feed the smaller size to the juvies and the larger size to the adults. I didn't feed it exclusively and it was part of a diet that included crickets, kingworms, fish, mice, rats, and horse meat for the juveniles and rabbits, chickens, rats, and horse meat for the adults. As part of those diets it was great, and the juvenile gators grew very nicely with it as part of their diet although it did, as the others have stated, lead to daily water changes in the juvenile stock tanks. The adults had large filtration systems so that wasn't a concern with them.
