That is excellent. With Niles I found that they and Cubans needed a fair amount of whole mammals or birds to produce a high percentage of fertile eggs. Once I fed almost exclusively horse meat without fur or organs and only had about a 5-10% egg fertility rate. I was constantly looking for cheap food and more importantly available food sources. My life would have been much simpler had I been aware of Mazuri at the time. Actually I'm not sure it was even available then. At the end I was feeding Purina Alligator Chow to the neonates and they ate it readily. Thanks Chris. Even though I'm not working with crocs now I've always really liked them a lot. Congrats on the great job you're doing with one of my favorites, the Niles. All my large ones became very calm and almost tame especially a big male. I used to have to step over him or around him as he had NO fear of most people and he had NO desire to eat people either. He was one of the best reptiles I'ver ever kept and it was an honour to have had him. Today he lives a life of leisure at Gatorland with a small harem of females....
