This was not posted as a study but as the results of observations obtained since using the diet in varying degrees.

You can overfeed this stuff. Because it is in such a usable form you will see accelerated growth if the environmental conditions will support it.

As you can see with all the photos, even though the growth is accelerated it is very smooth.

Although I do feed Mazuri exclusively to some animals I do not recommend it be fed more than once or twice a week.

Tortoises like the Russians seem to really process the stuff quickly so I suggest feeding those less than that.

The only thing you have to vary with the different species is the quantity depending on the rate you are trying to attain.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope others will add their own ideas and observations.

You're welcome.

>>Thanks so much for your post. I really liked the honest yet consistent study that shows that you have practical knowledge, which is most important! I really enjoyed the pics as well. I have cherryhead RFs and I was hesitant about feeding them too much Mazuri since I have been worried about the quick growth that occurs. Thanks for taking the worry out of it for me.
