HAHA!!! I thought you fed mazuri to yours Ed!? Isn't mazuri a similar looking pellet to the zoo med ones? I'm probably totally wrong! A zoo keeper I know told me that it was very similar (in appearance at least!). Or is this something to do with the american mazuri and european mazuri confusion?

You need to take a faecal sample to the vets to be tested for worms/paracites - if they are present this can be a contibuting factor to low weight.

Well there we go then! The pellet foods I think are "rubbish" are the extruded kibble type ones. They just don't seem natural enough for my liking.
