If I was to have some cresteds and lechianus and wanted to save some time and effort, could I just feed them the MRP for one of those to both? I spoke to a guy briefly from Sandfire and he said to try the auriculatus for both. Has anyone tried this?
Best,
Justin

Why not crix? Easier to throw a few in then spend time mixing powder and water together every night. Not to mention the young ones love um and grow like weeds on an insect diet .

The auric diet is good for babies and juvies because of the higher protien content. As they mature you can switch to the crested formula and use it for leachies also. The leachie formula just has a higher fiber content in it, which is really more of a plus to the keeper and not really there for any added nutritive value.
good luck
