Yes, I find it worth it because if the lizards don't eat it directly, then it is a healthy gutload for the insects that the lizards do eat. I don't bother with babyfood or mashed fruit becuase it goes "off" quickly (also, babyfood tends to lack many essential nutrients and minerals) . THe Repashy CGD, you can mix as much or as little as you want so its convenient and not much ever goes to waste at all.

Default Repashy and crickets

Ah, OK. If when you mean "goes off" you mean it goes bad or moldy, then I can see it becoming a good investment. I get tired of scraping moldy green applesauce off my plastic dish nearly every day. The crickets I give Pepe have their back legs clipped off (but not pulled) and are put in a clear high-rimmed dish so that he has all of his bugs together whenever he wants them instead of having to chase them throughout the tank, so they wouldn't be able to benefit much from the Repashy food if it were put on a seperate dish, but atleast it would be there. Maybe I could put it in the cricket dish...? Would that work?

our smallest whiteline(Pip) will not eat crickets at all. I think he is afraid of them. when he and his little brother were born we found his brother had been eaten by crickets very small ones and Pip seen it. i think thats the reason he won't eat them. he loves mango and strawberry yogurt but anything else he will not eat. So experiment and see whatthey will eat and have fun with them.

Default Pepe likes his crickets

Heh I wish Pepe had that problem (well, maybe not that exact problem, but...). He goes after the largest crickets with a fervor that makes it difficult to exact a limit on how many I give him. He'll finish off whatever I put in his dish every single night and sometimes even as soon as I put the dish in the tank. Most of the time he won't let me watch him eat but there have been times when I put the dish in the tank with four large crickets in it and I come back in a few minutes to find it empty. The crickets would have gotten their back legs clipped and the rim would have been too high and too slippery for them to escape, which only leaves one conclusion. Pepe's biggest eating record currently stands at four large crickets and three waxworms. I swear he would go after a superworm if I let him but I don't want him to choke on it. Those things can put up a fair fight when something grabs them.

But yeah, that problem with the crickets eating baby lizards - and I have heard it can happen to adult lizards too - is exactly why I always use dishes for my lizards unless I am going to feed them by hand. If something like that ever happened to me, I don't know what I would do (other than hate myself for it).
