You can but I would guess that they could well get hooked on it and I doubt if long term they could live on it.

I'd tend to steer clear and use CGD mixed with fruit baby food if needed.

yeh i stick to CGD w/baby food and crix, ive known people whos crestie has completely gone off any other food after yoghurt, and was a complete hardship to get them back on even crickets! so just be warned and if you feel the need to, (which you shouldnt) in very very small amounts as a treat id say.

Thats interesting. They like the yoghurt so much they don't want to eat anything else? Confused

Is that because of the sugar content?

that was what i thought, also they never seem to get full when eating things like baby food/yoghurt, maybe its the high sugar/sweetness of it, greedy lil things.
