LOL I especially love the picture of the sulcata hatchling eating a diet of peas and corn with the "Natural Greens" powder sprinkled over it to simulate fiber. Let me tell you, the key to a healthy sulcata diet is LOW PROTEIN/high fiber...it appears this site does not subscribe to the low protein part of that equation. It is my personal opinion that the best way to do things is to get as close to a natural diet as possible. There are good grocery greens you can use to supplement a diet, along with graze (grasses/clovers/weeds/vetches), but I'd steer clear of any "miracle" cures...like the MOON DROPS (liquid UVB-D3). Any thoughts EJ?
