SDZ diet recipe

ZEKyle Jul 24, 2005 05:21 PM

Is this the correct recipe for the SDZ diet. I got it off reptizone.com forums: 2.5 lbs of raw ground turkey, 22.5 grams of steamed bone meal and 1/4 centrum vitamin, crushed. I am thinking about using it for my ARG B&W tegu. Are those the correct amounts? Isnt there supposed to be a raw egg and fruit of some sort? Thanks

2-1/2 lbs. ground turkey and 22.5 grams bone meal gets 1/2 powdered Centrum tablet.

The San Diego Zoo Diet recipe does not include eggs or fruit.

Why would you use a Centrum Vit.????? This is a synthetic vitamin and you or the lizard will only absorb about 3%. It is made with chemicals. Why not use a natural vitamin that the lizard will absorb?? Makes sense. Centrum aka Bed pan bullet...
