No, it's good stuff. I use it and there are some breeders who feed it exclusively. All of mine eat it happily, including the one who had only been fed crickets prior to my getting her (Susan). From what I understand, adults can safely eat an all-fruit diet, but juveniles should not because they need protein, which fruit doesn't provide at all. It doesn't have to come from crickets, though, if they will eat the CGD or GGD or worms/larvae. None of mine will accept meal worms as food, though.
