Agreed. Powders are a supplement, not a replacement or substitute. I like to lightly dust insects for my monitors with Miner-All and even pinkies for growing monitors. IMO it's definitely good for them, but the absolute key ingredient is whole prey items.

OP, have you tried small birds like quail or chicks? I had a peach throat that preferred birds and roaches over everything (although he would eat just about anything offered).
