what all does yours eat

[DragnDrop]

First, let me say that I have a lot of respect for Allen and Anthony, but that does not mean I have to agree with them all the time.

Now about that info you wanted us to read...

Did you note the part where he says he feeds live prey including roaches (mentioned in one of his follow-up posts) to his geckos because he likes to have them grow faster? And the part about the CGD being adequate for the average pet?

So this is a complete balanced diet suitable for being the sole food? Why do they grow faster when fed bugs then? Hey, I have an idea.... I'm going to produce a super duper complete balanced diet that you can feed your children, nothing else need be added except drinking water, the only problem is that they'll grow slower than their friends who are eating something else along with this diet..
HUH? Would you go along with that? Wouldn't you wonder just WHY they're going to grow slower than the others? Granted, growing too fast has it's own problems, can be detrimental, but growing slower than the accepted norm isn't quite something to write home about, is it?

He admits he feeds live prey in addition to CGD. So, he's not feeding ONLY CGD, his geckos are getting other food. Also note, he says 'for the average pet owner' it's good enough to use only CGD. I would be inclined to think that the average pet isn't called on to breed on a regular basis. Pets are pets, breeders are breeders, average pets are just that --- pets, part of the family in many cases, spoiled rotten in a lot of cases too, but still only pets, not breeders.

As a Rhac owner who not only allows them to breed but pretty well expects them to breed, I feel it's much better for them to have a variety of food. If they don't want to eat a certain food, great, it's their choice, I won't argue. However, there's no way I'm going to say they can't have this or that, but they'd better produce offspring for me anyways and that's that, now hurry up, go lay me some eggs.

I'm still trying to find the part that says mixing CGD et al. with other foods destroys the nutritional balance. Maybe I just missed it.
