Could anyone clarify exactly what should be mixed with crestie food. I have pure calcium carbonate and at the moment also use TRex Sandfire chameleon dust as the multivit. for my cham. But....the TRex crested gecko diet thing looks like it does the job of a multivit. Is this right? Can I just use the calcium powder and the TRex stuff? And, how often?
Thanks!

The T-rex CGD is a TOTAL diet, all that needs to be added is water. However, to get this complete diet, it lacks a little in the taste department so most people start off mixing a sweet baby food into it, then slowly reducing the amount over a few months until they are eating only the CGD mixed with water.

Once your geckos are on CGD, they can live, breed and grow old on it. Allen Repashy who developed the diet feeds it exclusively to his geckos and produces 1000's of crested babies each year.

I use CGD every other day and offer crickets dusted in nutrabol twice a week.
