This all sounds very interesting though. I find the weed diet suits me and my tortoises fine for now, good growth etc. Though if I had anymore it would be difficult to feed them all in this way and maintain diversity in their diets.

It's a choice that is now available, the Mazuri ones research is amazing, the factory and nutritionist team second to none. Hope our pellets available are good copy's. Your tort's look great, it's a choice, hopefully i can carry out my feeding regime and report it to someone in ten years, good or bad.

These are the ones I got Helen, no artificial colours http://www.feedem.co.uk/reptiles-246...mpaign=froogle however, I didn't actually seek them out, it was all they had in stock

There is no such thing as unhealthy weight gain if it does not involve fat.

What 'stats and studies'? ...and you can't use any TT references.

Hi Ed. Ive never used pellets but am overwintering afew of my Horsfields this year and was considering adding them to what food I can get. Are they ok for Horsfields?

Thanks ed, I thought I had read you put somewhere that there was no healthy weight gain

[Helen M]

So how do you go about allocating quantities for animals? Just to make sure you don't overfeed?

Must be the P.P type

No they aren't Stigmochelys pardalis pardalis, but S.p.babcocki as of right now. They could possibly be a new subspecies.

I'm not quite getting the point either. The animals you showed a picture of aren't the same as the 2 of Ed's you posted the link to. Ed's won't ever get that big no matter what he feeds them.
