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 ChewyMay 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.

Is this good for desert tortoise

There is no other product to compare

When my fience brought home my dream pet, I search hi and low for every bit of information I could absorb. I wanted my little guy (at the time lol) to have the best quality of life. Every chat room recommendation came with this brand. But I could not justify the price for the small bag when I could give him just as good with mixing the food by hand. Now that he is 15 inches long I decided his appetite requires an upgrade. I cant store enough of everything I would need to give him a balanced diet. So it was time to switch. My biggest fear was he wouldn't like it. HE LOVES IT! Had no problem switching. I do still add in about 20% fresh veggies to his bowl every day. This has made everything much more simple and less to store.

Our Sulcata, Larry, gets these pellets mostly during the colder months when fresh grass and mulberry leaves aren’t available, but also a couple times per week just to make sure he’s getting the nutrition he needs. He loves these pellets even though he’s rather picky about dried hays and grasses. He’ll eat them dry or soaked, but prefers them soaked, and I like knowing he’s getting the extra hydration.

Tiny pellets - rabbit food size

When did the pellets shrink? This is rabbit food - pellets are too small for tortoises.
