from what I have read...its just crap. goo and food coloring and not much nutrition.
better off with a dry gutload, water crystals fruits, dark leafy greens. IMO only!

i too bought it and i dont like it at all, i have throw a cube in with 1000 crickets and they dont even eat it all, and 1000 crickets eat alot!!! i do what sontiger suggest above

damnn petco! curse yoU! i"ll just go back to using lettuce and carrots. is it better to buy dry food?

 

[SonTigerPantherCham]

Its good to have all. Im not sure if lettuce has much in the way of nutrients either. Carrots are good. Throw in an orange, apple, collard/kale and cricket crack or other dry food that adds additional nutrients. A chameleon is only as healthy as the food he eats ( ok, that's a bit of an overstatement, but I hope you get what I mean) the better the gutload, the better nutrition your Cham is getting

Thank you, Hoj

I don't know the product, what does the label say about vitamins?
I have one similar, but which claims to have a 1:1 ratio of calcium/phosphorous. It smells nice and fruity and crickets do eat it. The safest way is always variety. Can you get some good flakes as well as the veg? I use some fish/turtle flakes with extra vits/mins. It's cheap enough and crickets seem to love it.
