Agreed, the lady at Mazuri US was very hepful when I contacted them. I have posted before about these diets but it seems to still be asked... Mazuri US gave details of NutraZu stating this was the EU version. If you check the Nutritional analysis of all 3, Mazuri US and Nutrazu compare, whereas Mazuri EU is noticeably different with way more protein and less fibre. |

While it might be higher in protein... do you know what is 'too much' protein concerning tortoises? Many Zoos have been using the Mazuri(UK) for quite some time. If there was a problem, don't you think it would have shown up by now?

I think we all know there is no way of suggesting what levels can / cannot be tolerated. My point is that the diet isn't 'connected' to the Mazuri US. The makeup , regardless where it is used, is different and Mazuri US will direct you to Nutrazu if you are in the UK. |

Yes zoo's do use it but have you seen the state of some of the tortoise's in zoo's !!, I'm not saying it's a result of feeding pellet's but it does make you wonder !!!!.

If you read the previous post... they are connected. It seems to have started in the UK as a monkey diet. I'm sure it has been tweeked to accomodate tortoises as the years moved on.
Again... the ingredients are not as important as the nutritional ratio. You can have different ingredients to make up the nutritional ratio. Quote:
