I agree about the pellets and only offer fresh and some seed and nuts. I have no problem with sunflower seeds, because I only offer seeds as treats, not meals.
Your zon can absolutely eat too much. Both the zons and the ekkies can get quite pudgy if you're not careful about what you offer. So, watch carbs and calories, serve lots of dark orange/yellow veggies, dark green veggies, limit sugary fruits and be careful about portions of pasta, rice and beans.
Think in terms of feeding lots of food, but only good high quality foods with little fats and sugars. I always say its like taking care of an overweight, elderly diabetic aunt (LOL).
