That's supposed to be identical to the Mazuri found in the states.

It isnt Ed ive had Mazuri will pm you where i got it from

Nutrazu is in brow pellet form like Mazuri but the pellets are shaped more like a horse shoe

When you wet it it goes like mush
Where as when i wet mazuri it would stay intact if soaked with warm water not boiling then it would go liek mush
It smells horid, Mazuri smelt nice

I'm glad I read this, I was going to get some Nutrazu for my reds. Why is Mazuri so hard to get hold of in the Uk? I looked into it and they wouldn't ship over.

I have it on good authority that NutraZu is identical to the Mazuri that is available in the states. The reason it in not call Mazuri in the UK is because the name was taken.

I still recommend NutraZu.

The reason they won't ship it... honey. Honey is used as a binder. There are severe restrictions on importation of honey into the UK.

Any idea why the restrictions on honey, Ed?

I believe it's got something to do with a disease that can whipe out the bee population in the UK.
