If you use CGD as a main source of nutrition you can't go wrong.Personally I use CGD,I also alternate Crickets and dubia roaches which help to accelerate the animals growth.When I use live prey I dust with Miner-all and have had excellent results with this routine.I probally hatch about 50-100 per year with nearly zero problems/casualtys.But as they say theres more than one way to skin a cat... If I were you I would experiment a little bit and see what works for you.Let me know if you have any more questions and Good luck!
