I see the 'Crested gecko t-rex powder mix' says it's a 'all-in-one'
does anyone just feed this stuff ?

( I was just thinking about when my cresties are adults , next year i'm going away ( to a festival ) for 4 days , & will leave my mum looking after my cresties will it be ok if she just feeds them CGD every day ? she isn't keen on crickets BUT if they will really need them she will ( she could also give them fruit as I blend up fruit and freeze it into little cubes ))

Not feeding your cresties for 4 days will not be a problem when they are adults, but yes you can used CGD only. Allan Repashy, who developed CGD, has kept and bred several generations of cresties on nothing else. I don't use it much myself, but I know that lots of keepers do...

Cheers,
Mark.

as Mark say's it was developed as a Complete Diet, nothing else needed.

Allen breeds over 5000 cresteds a year and uses nothing but CGD.

I use CGD 3 - 4 times per week with crickets in between.
