hello
mazuri products are top notch.
I was introduced to this product by a friend who works at the san diego zoo.
true zoo quality diet
Any reptile that eats greens in my store I feed it to.
I own a reptile store and use the turtle and tortoise foods regularly.
I have had good results.
I do not sell their products and still use and recommend them over most diets available.
I include a sample of the product with each full turtle or tortoise setup that leaves my store.
So you know it's good when I give it away instead of selling some candy in a jar to them.
This stuff works well.
hope this helps
best regards

No such thing as a staple diet. Variety is important. Mazuri is supplemntal. Think about it, we as humans need meat, fruits, veggies...anything for us that is a staple? Too much of anything is not good.

I picked up Mazuri after all the great things I heard about it..Mine all love it (2 Sulcatas, 1 Marginated)..I feed a few Mazuri to my older one just once a week where I also dust with calcium and vitamins...he mostly grazes on grasses all day long and eats hay, plants etc. MY 2 younger torts get it about 3 days a week and also have access to hay, grasses, etc. But yes--Mazuri is great stuff.

I use it in addition to fresh fruit, veggies and live squiggly things
