Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this tortoise diet for exceptional palatability, with tortoises across all species and sizes eagerly consuming the pellets and many preferring it over other brands. Reviewers consistently report visible health improvements including better shell development, increased activity, and overall vitality. Many customers highlight long-term loyalty spanning decades, with some crediting the diet to reducing vet visits and supporting recovery in rescued tortoises. A few note isolated cases of initial refusal, but these are vastly outweighed by widespread enthusiasm and trust in the product's nutritional reliability.

Excellent product for my tortoise

Tony P

5 months ago
My tortoise is about 23 now and LS Diet has been a part of his feed for about 10 or so years now. He won't eat hay so I grind it up and add it to LS Diet. I soak the pellets in water for about 10 minutes first. Along with hibiscus flowers and leaves and dandelion added to his meal he is going strong. If it wasn't for this product I'm not sure what I would feed him that would be healthy for him. He does graze on the grass and weeds in the backyard. He doesn't balk at the taste. When hungry he just consumes it. Great Job Mazuri!

Our sulcata tortoise loves these pellets. They last a very long time so we basically use a large bag a year.

Amazing product. Sulcata loves it! My vet is the former head of reptiles at the SD Zoo and he turned me onto mazuri. Said it’s a must.

My sulcata tortoises had these when they were little, soaked in warm water until soft. Now, they are ginormous dinosaurs 🤣 and love the dry pellets for a quick snack. I feel good knowing they are getting the exact nutrients they need and they graze throughout the day.

Questions

1 - 2 of 2 Questions

When I feed my turtles, the water turns brown quite quickly. Will this food act different?

  1. I don’t know if you meant to ask this question about the ā€œAquaticā€ Mazuri TURTLE food…? This food is specifically meant for land dwelling TORTOISES, not turtles who mainly live in water. You can moisten the tortoise food with water to make it softer and easier for them to eat. But, if you try to feed your aquatic turtles with this food, it will disintegrate eventually and turn the water brown. If you truly have aquatic turtles, they have different nutritional requirements and you need the AQUATIC mazuri diet. Those pellets are designed to float in water, so they shouldn’t turn your water brown. Hope this helps.Ā 



Is this the Mazuri Tortoise Diet or Mazuri Tortoise Diet LS?

  1. The label clearly states that it is LS, which in our opinion, is superior to the regular diet. Our tortoise loves it!
