there is no comparison of insect eaters and mammal eaters. It is well known that insects are an incomplete diet in captivity and supplementation is needed. A lab rat and a brazilian wild rat both have the same chemical composition.

ps, an above post mentioned supplementing vitamins once or twice a year. If supplementation did have a necessary affect, then this would be negligeable. It's like feeding once or twice a year. If you choose to supplement, and are seeking whatever benefits there may be, then go regularly.
