Clark's frugivorous gecko diet?
http://www.pangeareptile.com/products.htm
It is available from here American site, (so hopefully Scott won't mind that it sells cresties). Apparently, it has a higher success rate then CGD.
I haven't seen it in the UK.
Also, I like the idea of the magnetic food frays!

I heard mixed reports about this product. Some breeders (in the US) have found it to be a wonderful food - I have read many reports of geckos lapping it up. It's sweeter than the other foods on the markets. Others are not so favourable about it. I don't know how true it is but I have read posts (on some of the US forums) that not enough research was done on the ingredients - alledgely it was available in the shops in less than six months of it just being an idea, therefore not enough scientific analysis was carried out on it. I have read other negative reports on it but I feel this isn't the place to discuss it.

To be honest I was going to try it with my Rhacs but, decided that one negative report was enough for me. I'll stick to what is working well for me.

Really? (6 months thing)
Maybe not....
Also, I'm sure T-Rex would have made it sweeter if they could- without compromising the gecko's health.

Thanks,

Not tried it, Dan Lay on here was selling some Wink

I would say that it's NOT the same as the CGD that can be used 100% exclusive, it's more of an additional food that should be used with feeder insects etc. Personally I am not going to use it as I know that it is very 'tasty' and I don't want my geckos 'hooked' on it.
