I feed my parrots, greens , tortoise and cyclura Zupreem fruit blend parrot food. Recently the cyclura has been "demanding" it every morning and if she doesnt get it she gets very hissy and neurotic. She gets fully nutrtionally balanced salads every other day and is weighing it at 13 lbs at 5 years old. It seems that her stool is sort of loose and smelly and I'm concerned shes devouring too much of the zupreem which doesnt contain alfafa/hay as a bulking agent.


My question is, If you use Mazuri tortoise, Do you feed it dry? Are the pellets too big for them to eat? Any sugestions on what to do? (I gave her cherrios, rice crispies and grape nuts this morning instead...she looked at me like I was insane and then ate it begrugingly.)
