the laying mash here in the states is ground grains mixed with calcium, vitamins and minerals. It is formulated for high egg production and well calcifified shells on the eggs.

A lot of earthworm breeders use it claiming increased egg production with earthworms. I can't argue as I got great results using it to raise my mealies.

The argument that was raised with using this product is that there are trace poisons in it and that used over time these toxins accumulate in the livers of the baby reptiles. I was told to sacrifice one of my babies at 1-year to study the liver to see if this was the case before I decide that layer mash was really safe.

I don't know enough about biology to do this study and my production is too low to do this. Maybe this is a study that Jobi is up to! I don't know, I have to also wonder if this isn't just the brainwashing of the industry that wants to sell us the insect chow that costs $3 for a little jar!
