In Reply to: Re: cuttle bone for sulcata... posted by Boxiebreeder on April 14, 2003 at 15:03:13:
::I cut up cuttlebone into cubes for my year old sulcata to feed whenever he needs.... can he have to much calcium? He ate over half of the cuttlebone in a day! I special ordered mazuri tort diet from a feed store it should be here in 3 weeks. How much should I feed him a day? he is 7.1 oz or 201 grams. Thanks
:
:If you do decide to use the mazuri, use it in limited quanities. It has a lot of protein so it will help with pyramiding which is not good. Have you tried feeding him timothy or bermuda hay. Not alfalfa for the same reason as muzuri. Sulcata tortoises come from a arid region so they need a barly any water in their food otherwise they can develop problems.

YaY somone i agree with! You don't see Mazuri tortoise chow laying around in the desert do you? It seems to me like a lazy way of dealing with your torts.
