I have three juvies and one adult right now, here are their sizes and weights:

-16" SL, 23.5 lbs
-8.25" SL, 3.35 lbs
-8" SL, 3.25 lbs
-5.75" SL, 1.5 lbs

They live outside full time and can graze on grasses all they want and they have a 10'x8' metal shed full of timothy hay bedding that they eat, I also give them leafy greens and other vegetables occasionally. So, Mazuri is by no means a staple but I am supplementing their diet with it. I was just wondering how many pellets I should feed each, any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I supplement my Sulcatas/Marginated with Mazuri about once a week, sometimes twice a week...here goes:

Sulcata 2 yrs old - 3 pellets 1-2 times a week.
Sulcata 4 yrs old - 5 pellets 1-2 times a week.
Sulcata 2 wks old, half a pellet every 2-3 days
Marginated 1 yr old, 1 pellet 2 times a week.

That may not be exact I mean I don't sit there and count but that's about average. They love Mazuri and it's certainly only a supplement since mine as well have grass, hay, flowers, plants etc.

Hope this helps.
