marion diet update

jf Nov 05, 2003 12:03 PM

They love it. I fed it tuesday, came home and it was gone and some greens remained. This morning I fed it again and both came out earlier than normal and went right to the marion food that was mixed with the greens. I am very surprised because I consider both of my cyclura picky eaters.

Did you add water or just mix dry with the greens? Tom

each lizard got 35g mixed with 30g of water. I then sprinkled it on their food. I just copied what the SD Zoo is doing.

Hi Joel,
Sorry if this double-posted, I'm having computer problems. Glad the diet works for you. Keep in mind that the amount you're using is for adults; it should be part of a total day's diet equal to about 800 grams of food, 95% of which is greens. Talk soon,
Jeff

Started feeding it over the summer, they ate it up. But they also ate up the ZOO Med, the Ziggler, and a few others. Some body needs to do some blood work studies so we can figure out which is the best.
