7 Customer Questions
I have a 8 month sulcata and feed him this but I'm wondering how big the pieces are, cause he's gotta tiny mouth, what the benefits of the low starch version is and if this has enough calcium to replace giving him a calcium bone.
Answer by • May 18, 2020
Mazuri Tortoise LS diet is the recommendation for Sulcatas. It comes in two sizes. Mazuri Small Tortoise LS is 3/32 inches in diameter by 1/8 inches long. Mazuri Tortoise LS diet is 1/4" inches in diameter by 1/2 inches long. It contains 100% of the nutrients need per day and will not require a calcium bone. For tortoises the Tortoise LS diet is recommended. The Tortoise LS diet is a Timothy grass based diet that is low in starch, higher in fiber, lower protein, contains probiotics, and works great for tortoises. The LS diet mimics their natural environment in the wild.
