I just want to make sure I understand correctly before I go out and buy some of this stuff. The supplement will provide all of the nutritional, calcium, and protein needs so that I could get rid of crickets (except for the occasional thrill of the hunt..lol), pellets, multivitamins, calcium dust w/d3, and UVB altogether? So theoretically I could (not that I would) feed my dragons only iceburg lettuce dusted with the sandfire supplement and they would be completely healthy even if they were raised on it since babies? If this is indeed true it seems like it would be the holy grail of diets for raising BD's



Also I'm not completely clear on the difference between the VGF and the VMF. Would the VGF be for babies to subadults that are still growing and the VMF be for adults that don't need as much protein?



One more thing, if I could play the devil's advocate here. While I trust that the SDR developed formula sounds to be really good, what is to keep T-rex from cutting corners on the ingredients to cut costs and raise profits? Let's face it this is from the same company that sells and markets Calci-sand as being safe and digestible. Are there any checks being done that will ensure that the SDR formula is followed in content and and quantity over time? Please note that i'm not accusing T-rex of doing this, just being cautiously skeptical for the sake of mine and other BD's that may come to rely on this all-in-one solution.



Thanks in advance for answering my ??'s
