Was walking through a pet store today.

Nothing but a gimmick, but I wonder how safe it is, despite their "assurance". I read some interesting reviews on it from buyers on Amazon as well. Some positive, and some not. In some cases the animals were confused or refused to eat them. Could it be because the crix were glowing!!??? :rolleyes:

I looked at the zilla brand, it looks like they ground up scorpion molts and dusted them on crickets, but the ingredients are just 4 types of calcium compounds and food coloring.
Doesn't calcium normally glow under uv light? I recall blacklights making teeth glow in the dark, so shouldn't the regular "non glowing" suppliment powders also glow?

I am not so sure about glow in the dark, but they surely grow in the dark. :troll:
