Hi guys, I'm new to reptile ownership and so is my family. My grandparents have taken an interest in my pet and they like him a lot and have been gifting me a lot of nice stuff for him for my birthday and christmas.
Some of it has been great! They got me a nice hammock for him, a background for the tank, and twice theyve helped me replace my repti carpet. They always want to hear if he likes the stuff they got and they're very excited about all of it which is sweet of them.
At Christmas however, they got me a container of store reptile food. From what I can gather, its a nutrient powder that solidifies in water and can be cut into chunks for food. I only feed my pet feeder insects and fresh vegetables and have tried to stay away from storebought stuff.
At the same time, I dont want to insult them. What do you guys think of this stuff? Does it have any nuritional value whatsoever? Should I just toss it? Could I mix it with some other stuff? Let me know if any of you have experience with this stuff.
Heres a picture of the stuff
