His is a healthy female, around 7-8 months old, with a nice fat tail.How old/big is it, and how healthy? ie a big adult with a nice fat tail can go a lot longer than a little one, or an adult with a skinny tail.
Crested gecko food. I don't see what's "greedy" about it, if you're feeding a diet that really DOES meet an animal's nutritional needs (which a lot of turtle pellets and the like don't, so you do have to do your research on any given brand - but that even goes for dog and cat food too, a lot of which is terrible and has no nutritional value whatsoever).Yes, it could live its whole life on that leopard gecko food, thousands have and do, just like thousands of red eared sliders live their whole lives on nothing but turtle pellets, but that would be very greedy of you to offer nothing else.
Why? Like Taku said, the diets are specifically formulated to give the cresteds everything they need - proteins and the like included. The lizards are not suffering or sad because they're living on CGD. What's your grudge, man? :?And maybe switch out "greedy" for "shameful".
No grudge, the information is just misleading. The same information says that feeding a red eared slider turtle pellets its whole life is fine, which everyone knows isn't the best. Sure the animal will live, but so would you if you ate at Burger King every single day. I mean if you are poor and you cannot afford to offer your pet anything else to eat, then ok, but if you at least have the means to toss in a gutloaded cricket or mealworm or some fruit, anything that it would possibly eat into the cage, then why would you not?Why?

Except that MRP isn't Burger King, it's like the healthiest possible food science can create. As far as I know, it's MADE with fruit, bee pollen, spirulina, and enough vitamins and minerals and protein to drop a horse. You're implying that one might as well feed the poor suffering geckos wet cardboard all their lives ("shameful"?), when that's just not true.Sure the animal will live, but so would you if you ate at Burger King every single day.

Those ingredients are in practically all types or fish food, and turtle pellets. And if they truly would "drop a horse" as you say, they would also drop a lizard. Give your head a shake. Everyone knows that feeding as many types of food as is possible to your animal is a far better practice than only offering them a single food source. Give your head another shake for the cardboard comment, that is the most irrelevant post I have read in a long time. After posting in a different thread with talk of trolls, mushroom spore, you are starting to fit the description more and more every post.Except that MRP isn't Burger King, it's like the healthiest possible food science can create.

It was humorous exaggeration.And if they truly would "drop a horse" as you say, they would also drop a lizard.
Feeding a healthy diet is the important part. If MRP is healthy, then it's healthy. Feeding many types of food isn't automatically great if the end result is not also a healthy, balanced diet.Everyone knows that feeding as many types of food as is possible to your animal is a far better practice than only offering them a single food source.
It was a perfectly legit point. You are the one comparing a healthy, well-balanced diet to eating Burger King all the time and treating animals "shamefully." You're outright SAYING that MRP has no nutritional value, and I'd love to know what you're basing this on besides "well it's just one thing, therefore it's bad." (When it is in fact already a combination of many things, such as assorted fruits and vitamins and protein sources that I imagine ARE insect-based.)Give your head another shake for the cardboard comment, that is the most irrelevant post I have read in a long time.
...I don't think you know what trolling is, but I'll help: disagreeing with you is not trolling.After posting in a different thread with talk of trolls, mushroom spore, you are starting to fit the description more and more every post.
No I am not outright saying that MRP has no nutritional value. You are the one that is outright saying that I am saying that it has no nutritional value. You are putting words that you want to hear because you are a troll into my mouth, and then arguing with me about them. Refer to my original post, where the thread creator asked if they could live their whole lives on this diet, note how I said "YES". Go eat some more mushrooms, you aren't going anywhere with this.It was a perfectly legit point.

I don't have to put anything in your mouth, they were already there. :? But erm, go ahead and call me a troll again for calling you on declaring a healthy, well-balanced diet that results in happy and healthy geckos to be "shameful." And call me a troll for pointing out that you cannot compare a healthy, well-balanced diet to commercial diets which are NOT healthy, or to Burger King.the information is just misleading. The same information says that feeding a red eared slider turtle pellets its whole life is fine, which everyone knows isn't the best.

Now okay, see this? This personal attack right here? THAT'S trolling. Just so you know.Go eat some more mushrooms, you aren't going anywhere with this.
Another good sign of a troll is someone who always has to have the last word, no matter what. Even if it means demonstrating ignorance and immaturity. ;PYeah Im sorry too Brendan. Mushroom Spore likes to quote me as much as possible, that's how much he likes me.
