So far I haven't been given any evidence or even anecdotal events of any harm the diet has/can do.
I've got a large collection in which I use the stuff and network with many zoos who have used it and still do.
You may have been kidding about rearranging specific ingredients but I really do think you can change ratios of the same components to fit the need of specific species.
Mazuri does not recommend the Tortoise diet as anywhere near a main staple and neither does anyone I know who recommends the diet.
1-4% bodyweight. My tortoises consume at least 15 to 20% of their body weight on any given day with the temperatures over 80 degrees F.
