I looked into them and they seemed pretty good, but I can't buy them around here, unfortunately. If you do get them, post on how they went over

Turns out that the dealer for Mazuri foods, doesn't stock anything, its all special order and large amounts, so I won't be trying that any time soon.

Those things are reall decent. They are moist compressed fruit. I didn't see anything bad in them when I got them to try with Dan. When you open the bag you can REALLY smell the fruit. I actually tried one, cause he shouldn't eat anything I wouldn't, and they tasted alright. Give them a try.....OH and put them in the fridge after opening. They get hard and nasty if you don't! lol

Hi Mike,

We've used them with our iguanas and they like them. We use them to complement their current diet of fresh vegetables. They are very handy for providing variety and for when you need to go away for a few days; the Yummies don't rot, they simply dry up. They also have a very long shelf life. This is one of the very few commercial foods we carry in our store.

You may have to chop them up a bit if you happen to get the round-shaped ones; iguanas have a hard time grabbing them with their mouth, 'cause they're a bit slippery. You may also need to introduce them with their greens because they may not know what to make of them if you present them all by themselves, but once they sample them, they eat them readily.

Hope this helps!
