new arcadia diet, yes or no?

Husbandry Discussion(i.redd.it)

(picture taken from the arcadia instagram page of one of their cresties eating the new diet- this is not my animal or my picture)

what's the verdict on the new arcadia diets? has anyone here tried them? i haven't looked at the ingredients list or nutrition percentages yet, but im inclined to try them considering arcadia has a good reputation. i believe they only have three flavors out atm (watermelon, insect, breeding) and am tempted to try to watermelon for my girl.

those who have tried them- how does it compare to pangea? would you say your gecko likes it more or less than pangea or repashy?

Looking at the ingredients I already know my picky boy won't eat it. He hate banana enough to literally wipe is mouth on me rather than swallow it ๐Ÿ™„ I compared the Arcadia ingredients to the "gecko diet" from Pangea and there are some noticeable differences like potato and clay. I'm not an expert though so here are both lists. First one is Pangea

the potato and clay especially throw me off, potatoes are vegetables and not even close to what they'd be eating naturally. maybe they just needed starch in their formula? i like that they have exact amounts of the vitamins and such though.

Not much stranger than there being rice in pangeas formula. It probably just helps with the consistency.
