[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1898831, member: 31715"] I would say so 100%! I wasn't trying to bash silks in the above comment, but the fact is they only eat 1 thing basically, so they have got to be lacking certain things. But, they also provide serrapeptase which no other feeders (that i'm aware of do). So while they are most likely lacking in some aspects, they also provide something which others can't! Cue the variety! A good example I guess is rice and beans. Alone, they both have a certain amino acid profile. They both are incomplete profiles. One has certain amino acids the other doesn't, and visa versa. If you ate only rice, you'd be missing out on some of those amino acids. Same with beans. If you eat both, you have an almost 100% perfect amino acid profile. We know that certain foods compliment well for humans. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that this is true with reptiles also. Of course no one is going to study diet on reptiles like is done on humans, but it proves the point that there is not 1 single food item that can provide everything, and almost everything provides things that others might not be able to. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
