Default T-rex CGD or Rapashy? Which one?!

I've seen both the rapashy 4oz (online only really) and the t-rex MRP 1.5oz for crested geckos (in petco store and online), is there difference beside sizes? Price I think is about the same. Nutrition wise an anything you guys can think of

thay are sort of the same stuff actually the T-rex formula was made by rapashy but it's sort of like version 1.0 where as the stuff he sells him self is like version 3.0 because he is constantly messing with it. but go with the rapashy because the cresties tend to like it better.

The T-Rex formula hasn't been updated the way that the Repashy formula has. Allen has been doing work with it and making things better for the past few years, and the T-Rex stuff hasn't changed since Allen no longer works with them on it. It's also much cheaper to order the Repashy in the foil pouches...buying in bulk is much more economical than getting those little jars from Petco.

Alright, so i got him and he is pooping but i never really see him eat and I'm confused on how much (in teaspoons) I should make;
One the jar it says 2 scoops of cgd and 1 scoop water, so how much in teaspoon?
I use 1/2 teaspoon (2) equals 1 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon water

Just mix up enough so the wet CGD is like BBQ sauce. The exact ratio doesn't matter. You can store extra in the fridge. Feed the amount about the size of the gecko's head in a bottle cap. I use water bottle caps for babies and Gatorade caps for adults. Good luck!

First of all, I also use Repashy, and I just mix 1/8 teaspoon CGD with 1/8 teaspoon water and that seems to be all that my one adult and two juvies want to eat.
