Wasnt this the same vet who told you to feed romain lettuce??

The idea behind no supplementation is that they get all their vits and ca from the stuff they eat? I just dont believe that. (Side note, those pre-cut pre-packaged salads have absolutely NO nutritional value, even collard greens, because of the way they are packaged)

My old vet, Dr Klingenberg breeds and keeps reptiles (not sure for how long) but you might recognize his name from all the books he's written/co-written. He's even quoted in the Mader book. Well he told me crickets are part of the permanent diet. That would be enough for me, but all the wonderful smart people here say so too, PLUS I had my first clutches of baby dragons this spring and summer and if I wasn't feeding them bugs what would I feed them??? I tried to get them to eat pellets and they wouldn't and they did not start eating green stuff for a few weeks. I also went some time with the wrong supplementation and some of them started to twitch and seizure. I learned my lesson the hard way, thank god I didn't loose any babies.



Just MHO
