Living on a 20 acre farm, my Stars are kept in a large 12'portable enclosure in summer with all the fresh hey to their heart's desire. BUT in the winter, I make sure my tortoises' enclosure is lined with timothy hey. I also slice vegetables for them. Getting Mazuri or Rep-Cal's Tortoise food- which they Love is a pain- I have to drive from MA to CT where it is sold by a mom pop pet store. Tortoise food at Petco is limited and expensive. That's when I noticed the ingredients in the parrot food: dried apple, mango, green peas, red&green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, watercress, spinach, corn, soybean meal; and it smells like Rep-Cal's Tortoise food too. What are the thoughts about Parrot food for supplementing my sri lankan star? Where can I get Mazuri- on line not needing PayPal?
