Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

iguana guys.
Mainly a question for the cuban and rhino guys.
Mine are about to go outside for the season. Can anyone recommend a pellet food That I can put outside that will hold up over a hot day. I have used alfalfa pellets in the past. Mazuri only sells in 1.5lb bags. Giving them greens outside results in wilted and very brown food by noon.

How are you offering it?
can it be used as a staple or just a supplement?

Well that depends I think. I always make sure that they eat an entire bowl of their staple greens first before I bring this out. I just let them fill up on it because they love it. There is no animal protein inside so there is no need to worry of internal damages. It is an excellent source of protein, fiber, and other nutrients that help them grow much faster. For Cycluras, this tends to work quite well given the fact that they are a bulkier genus of Iguanidae. The extra protein and fiber work like a champ.
Another good thing about the Mazuri is that you can let them soak longer to absorb more water. I've noticed that my one male, no matter how dehydrated he looks, will not drink water. Generally their water supply comes from their greens. This can lead to problems in the summer temps with the food drying up real fast. The longer you soak the Mazuri, the more hydrated they will get once consumption occurs. It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
Looking at it now I guess I do consider them a staple. Just make sure the greens are consumed first, along with any vegetables you might be feeding, then bring this out to finish it off.
Hope this helps

The mazuri tortoise chow works really well, i like the zoomed grassland tortoise diet for mine. Its not as processed and it mixes easily with greens to make a salad.
