No my other lizards have never been partial to a prepped diet so I didn't even try it with the Uro. What I did do is take a leaf from Doug Dix's Book and use ground up foods as toppers for the greens. He reccomends ground Mazuri Tortise pellets and later Repashy Uromasytyx Dust on top of greens I've gone a litle further and added a ground 15 bean soup mix and a Cockatiel Fruit/Nut/Seed Mix as additional toppers. Basically he gets fed mix Spring greens with additions of Mustard, Collard, Bock Choi, Kale, and Romaine as the daily meal in a bowl in the morning. Twice a week the Mazuri and Repashy(now T-Rex Uro Dust) are sprinkled and then one day each the Cockatiel and Bean Mix for six days the seventh no toppings and every other day Indoor Miner-All supplement. I use a simple cheap coffee bean grinder to grind the foods up for topper and keep in a Tupperware dish. Got a male Mali back in September from Doug at 4 weeks old 3.5 inches and 7 grams. It is now almost 7 months old 6.5 inches and 50 grams so he is doing very well with this diet.
