As said already been mentioned, any product's containing honey outside of the EU, is not allowed in, paranoid about our bee's been effected. Which is strange because the virus our's have, does not effected the American/African strain, i think.

From the results I've seen I believe it is as good as the ones I've listed in the past.

I've never heard of them also.

I'm acquainted with the Exoterra products but I don't know anything about their foods.

The mark up price on these product's must be ok for nearly all companies to sell them. Any animal pellet extrusion plant would be able to supply/make them.
Read about the machine for Pretty Pet's one was made in Sweden. Like to try and read far end of a fart. ET ones look natural, no colouring.

looks about the same as the rest. As mentioned in an earlier post these diets probably come from the same plant/base manufacturer.

See if you can find an ingredience list.

I don't like that it says to feed 80% of the diet. You can get away with it but not until you see what kind of growth you are getting so you can compensate on the quantity.
