Those of you that use repashys, do you offer livefood as well? I've only ever given mine repashys and she's done fine but I decided to offer a few crickets last week and she wasn't interested

Mine have both.
I give them the crickets (and sometimes locusts) so they can hunt for food like they would in their natural habitat.

I feed my Gargs on a pure repashy cgd, I have tried the live food and they just lick them and then run off.

I would prefer to mix their diet but they have other ideas lol

Licking is one step up from mine. She just sat there while they walked over and under her so I took them out in the end as I read somewhere on here that crickets bite?

I leave a bowl of repashys in tank that I change every couple of days. Then I put a few crickets in a plastic terrarium every other night and stick jasper in with them. Great fun watching him chase the crickets round and pounce on them. He loves them

My Crestie took ages to get on Repashy so ate a lot of live food now he won't touch live, only Repashy. Funny little git.

I'll just stick with the repashys then! Less hassle and cheaper anyway :D
