Either one is fine. I wouldn't spend too much time splitting hairs over one ingredient being 3rd in one brand and 4th in another. I use pure zoo med adult for most of my cycluras. For my rhino's and one massive male caymanensis I use half zoo med and half rabbit pellets to save money because of the volume of food they consume. All the ctenosauras eat zoomed juvenile dry food. If I run out of zoomed I will feed rabbit pellets until I get my next load. You also don't need to dampen food as long as a bowl of water is available. They will drink. I didn't care for Mazuri, because I didn't think the ingredients were as good, it made their crap a weird wet consistency, and attracted a massive amount of flies outdoors if I couldn't get to cleaning their waste for a few hours. I also did a test and gave the cyclura a bowl of greens and a bowl of dry food at the same time. They went for the dry food first, but then, they have been on the dry food for years and have developed a real liking for it.
