"I guess I just don't see how a supplement with all this stuff in it can be

considered safe to administer every day when there is absolutely no precise way

of measuring how much the animal is getting. Or if it is measurable there's no

indication of it on the bottle."



I'll try to help here...It not a supplement, it is a whole food, complete, balanced, etc. All the nutrients are present in ratios that balance the dust and make it a complete food, not unlike the pellets. So it does not matter how much your dragon eats, same as pelets...the nutrients are all there in the same ratios. Would youworry if your dragon ate a ton of pellets...it is the same thing with the dust. That being said, you dragon won't eat a pile of the dust(though it would be fine to do so, but rather dry), this is where the greens come in. The greens act as a means to deliver the dust/food. So the real concern when using the vgf or vmf, should be whether you are using enough not to much.
