"amazing"? definite no. yes ive seen the photos and my opinion is still unchanged regarding produced food and excessive use.

The request for the photos were not for your benefit... The fact that you don't think those animals look amazing demonstrates your objectivity.

did not think for one moment they were, all torts are amazing thats why we keep them. the fact im getting at is these torts get very little greens their diet consists 99% of mazuri only greens are hibiscus. surely mazuri should only be fed a couple of times per week not basicaly continues.

Do you feed torts mazuri every day of the week EJ?

Nope... twice a week... as much as they can eat. A little everyday is another acceptable method of feeding.
