My Ctenos really love this stuff is it okay for them long term? They have great body mass and growth rates since using it as a signifigant part of their diet (about 50%).

Of course I still offer a little animal protein (about 2-5%) a ton of greens (dandelion, spring mix, escarole) veggies (about 10% squash, green beans and sometimes carrot), and fruit (about 5% - Mango, apple, berries, peaches, etc.) with calcium supplimentation, but I would like to raise the Mazuri content-especially in winter.

I know it is generally commercial diets are not recommended for green Iggys but ctenos are much more closely allied with cyclura and I have read that a cyclura and uromastyx few breeders use Muzuri tortoise almost exclusevely.

Just asking for opinions.
