i bought some of the mazure tortoise diet and ive been moistening it and putting it in small pieces into my cubans salad. i break up one pellet. ive been offering them for a few days now and he hasnt eaten any of it. any ways to make him eat the pellets?

Oh man, it's coz you're not using ZooMed, that's why. He's not a tortoise is he? He'll eat once his shell grows in...j/k
but in all seriousness, it might take a few weeks, or, with many of these guys it's preference. Right now if you're giving him enough of the things he *prefers*, then he's obviously going to eat all that stuff first, and leave the things he doesn't prefer. But if you really want him to get on this diet bad, start changing the ratios until you cross the line where his hunger>preference.

I'm not trying to make it his whole diet. I just want to use it a little in each salad to give any extra nutrients he isn't getting from the vaiety u already feed him.
I just wasn't sure if they go at it right away or if it would take some time

Where can you get zoomed in bulk? I can't seem to find it..unless its like a 8oz or 16 oz container.

LLL will ship you 25 lbs, which will last well over a year, unless you're feeding 3 or 4 adults.

Thanks for the tip...I appreciate it
