I found this in the product description on one website:

Ingredients:

Hay.
Guaranteed Analysis:

Protein: 11,5%, Fat: 3,4%, Fibre: 23,8%, Ash: 8,3%.

That is the full given ingrediants list, I haven't missed anything. So they appear to be hay, not herb, cobs. Pretty close to the basic pre alpin but that does state a mixture of grasses and some dandelion. A pretty disingenuous name if its nothing but hay. Is that the sound of axbandwagon being jumped on I hear?

I have some of the baby stuff - I will have a look tonight and see if there's anything on the tin

I saw these but decided they were just grass pellets, (but a lot more expensive) as the listed ingredients were just hay.

1. Before soaking

2. After soaking Zoomed makes nice mash but Luckyreptile are very compressed and takes a good couple of hours to soak them into mash unless you crush the dry pellet.
LuckyReptile cob________________________________ZooMed Grassland diet.

My Indian star happily eats Zoomed mash (we call it porridge), does it in moderation ane never eat too much of it (like she would do with Komodo yummy food). I always supplement it with some fresh weeds, and will be weed diet in summer, when more variety available.
