I was gonna get this stuff when I get my new bearded dragon. You know, just to make sure he's getting his vitamins and minerals. But check out these ingredients. These were not found on the Rep-Cal website, as they were not provided. Instead, Petco provides the ingredients of all the food they sell on their website.
... yum..? :?
This reminds me of one of those organic dog food commercials. Corn Gluten Meal? Poultry Byproduct Meal?
So I looked this stuff up when I was looking at the ingredients in the Bearded Dragon pellets from Exo-Terra. These were actually found on Exo-Terra's website. Can't tell if it's really any better.
I read somewhere that some protein or whatnot in fish is bad for your beardie. So I don't know how I feel about the fish meal being the second ingridient.
Oh and, P.S., the pellet food isn't going to replace live food, it's just to make sure my beardie gets all his vitamins and minerals and maybe as a protein substitute for a day in the time I'm ordering more food and trying to establish colonies.
Bring on the opinions, please!!
