Maybe you need to consider it one more time. I truly feel that the suppliments and the crickets MUST stay in the diet. If you want a vet to tell you that, BUY A BOOK. All dragon books tell you to keep those things in the diet for the dragons whole life. I have never seen any reputable source saying to take them out for health reasons. Some people just don't like crickets, and the STRUGGLE to replace those nutrients that they provided. Crickets have the nutritional value of what you feed them. If you fat healthy crickets, IT IS WRONG to say they have no nutritional value..it is not just debatable, but wrong. There are lots of sources that have actually ground crickets up and analyzed their nutritional content, and depending on their diet, they can have a huge scope of nutrients. And suppliments...I have had SO many people begging for help with UNDER supplimented dragons (weak, seizures, back legs becoming paralyzed, ect) I have not yet seen an over supplimented dragon (not to say that can't happen, but it is much harder then giving to little). Why not be safe? Why take the chance?
