YIKES!!!

Doesn't look like anything geckos would eat...it's PELLETS!!!

[honuman]

I have to agree with Donna.  Of course doing turtle rescue I see so much damage done to animals on these "pelleted diets"  that I would most definitely be gun shy about using a product like this.

I would never feed this stuff to my geckos, but I was just curious if anyone had every seen it advertised before.  Crazy stuff!

I actually remember this on another forum, and somebody said that their gecko went crazy for it as soon as he put it in the cage! I wouldnt try it though, and if i did, i would crush up the pellets to a powder like CGD and mix with water.

[fossillady]

I thought it looked familiar, thanks!  They also sell it powdered.  ICK.

Weird. That isn't something I would even touch. I was leary enough when I first tried CGD, since it seemed so weird to be feeding a lizard a "fruit paste" diet instead of live foods. No way am I ever giving any of my geckos pellet food without seeing some extensive studies done by reputable folks that I trust.
