While this definately a convinience, by any means this is no better then natural feed and the claims that you dont need any products for dusting is just simply not true. Its sad actually that people believe these things and then we see so many cases where clients bring patients in, and starting conversation with “pet store people said” or “the package said”, etc.
Even buying dusting products its very important to follow exp dates, and usem them in moderation and appropriate ones. Say you cant use multivitamins every time.
Gutloaded crickets by any definition is this frogs problem, vet would be the best bet, but depending on a cause the prognosis could be sad.
