I used it for a bit but don't any longer. My cresties were raise on it supposedly, but never seemed eat much. I switched them to Nature Zone Gecko bites and they started growing like mad. So now I use mostly that and calcium dusted crix every so often.

I had a devil of a time getting my babies to eat CGD. My adults will eat it (exclusively) but they do fill out better and look healthier if they have crix and small worms in their diet as well.

I use repashy superfoods for all my rhacs (hell even the crazy ass tokays will eat it from a lid). The babies only get the mix but my breeders get the mix with insects once a week. I haven't had any of them refuse to start on the mix yet.

I use it as their staple, but throw some crickets in there a once or twice a week. They seems to enjoy chasing the little buggers around, so I figure it gives them some exercise and some extra protein. My babies don't seem to want any crickets, though. They seems to eat CGD exclusively. Been using the CGD and crickets for some time now, and all my females of breeding size have never produced bad clutches.

I feed CGD daily and once a week I offer calcium dusted crickets for my adults. Hatchlings rarely go for the crickets but once they get to about 4-5 weeks they seem to develop a taste for them.

I've used it for 3 years no probs. I only have one crestie I still use the odd crickets about once a month but mostly CGD 95% of the time .
When I use criks I dont dust them..
