It is ground to a fine powder so it sticks to the herp salad, providing a much larger variety of food per bite. Just sprinkle a little on top and serve to reptiles. A little goes a long way.

<B>A Veterinarian's Comment</b>

As a hobbyist and Veterinarian there are many reptile species that, aside from being beautiful, are a challenge to establish in captivity. Many experts on those species develop a specific and unique way to work with those reptiles and get them to thrive and even breed in captivity but for the average hobbyist it is not as easy. One such species are the lizards in the Uromastyx genus. They are beautiful and unique yet most don't prove to be very hardy in captivity.

I fell prey to the beauty of these lizards and obtained a few WC specimens. They started eating and doing ok but not to the point where they would survive too long in captivity. Uromastyx are also very stubborn and will not open their mouths as readily as other species which makes it hard to dose them any medications or force feed them. Well, my answer to get my guys in the right track came in the way of a powder called Salad Topper from www.cricketfood.com. This product provided an unexpected response from my Uromastyx which eventually led to their full recovery and successful acclimation in captivity. As I sprinkled the powder on top of the Uromastyx salad mix, the lizards showed interest and immediately licked the powder to taste it. To my delight, they all continued licking the powder and had to start eating the salad in order to get more of it with every bite. As the days passed, the ritual continued and the bowl was completely empty by every day's end. All the Uromastyx gained a lot of weight and were very open at eating anything that came from my hand which facilitated all other procedures that needed to be done with them. To this day, they will wait by the bowl for me to add the salad mix and sprinkle the Salad Topper before diving in and devouring it all.

I owe my success with these guys to the Salad Topper mix. This product is very nutritious and balanced to meet the requirements of your herbivore and omnivore lizards. I can't say the results I observed will prove to be standard on every case but it is certainly worth trying as it could make a difference in your lizard's health.
