Lazy or realistic?...

I don't think I'm lazy feeding Mazuri, however if I only had
a small hatchling or small torotises I guess I could open my
mouth and say that until I learned that: Purina makes Mazuri
and I'm sure a little thought went into it since zoos all over
the world use it. Growing grasses for a large tortoise to
carry through the winter is a joke that only someone with no
experience in actually trying that would suggest. Freezing
any amount of weeds (along with the bugs and spiders etc...
that'd be in it) would require a huge space for a larger
specimen. Unless (and sometimes even though) you live in
a wonderful environment, people who preach natural feeding only
tend to be called "those looking to re-home their tortoise soon
enough".
