I just don't care for the stuff. Also it contains a lot of stuff that a frog would never knowingly ingest. Most of the food contains ash(filler) that we don't even know what it's comprised of. Frogs fed this as a staple seem to mature much faster than the normal rate so it isn't just rapid growth, but rapid sexual maturity peak at a much younger age. To me that is unnatural. Its as if this food also contains hormones and steroids. Even though there is nothing in the label to suggest that it does contain these I find it odd that this stuff causes such large growth rates. Frogs that tend to grow at extreme rates tend to top out early too thus they don't reach their full potential. Plus each individual frog matures and grows at its own pace so it may work well for some and not others.

I also don't think it has everything a frog needs as it claims. I still see frogs with MBD and other deficiency based diseases that should not occur if this food was truly a complete whole food source with all needs included. It is also very messy which I am not terribly bothered with, but it just adds one more reason why I don't think it makes a good staple. I will not say that it is a bad product, just don't think it is a solution to feeding living prey. It is good for when you want to cut some time off your feeding schedule though.
