You said Mazuri doesn't recommend it as a staple diet.
The instructions I copied from www.mazuri.com said (in part):
Feed 1-4% of body weight per Tortoise per day
My view is if you are told to feed it every day, then it is being promoted as a staple. Maybe that's not your definition of staple .
I was only kidding a little bit about the soy/corn/alfalfa stuff. Seems to me that the pet food industry has a standard set of base ingredients that they can mold to produce a product. It makes for a nice, convenient food. Maybe the needs of reindeer, ferrets and tortoises are that similar. (Just being silly)
Heck, even Tortoise Trust has promoted Pretty Pets tort food as an occassional supplement, and that's just corn/oats/beet pulp.
