A fresh diet is always best. The "bites" diets if you look have corn and I believe some sort of wheat as their main ingredients which makes them a lot less nutritional than you would think. IMHO the only reason you would feed a bts or beardie those as their main diet is out of laziness. A proper diet consists of 75% veggies and some fruit (collard greens, dandelion greens, kale, acorn/butternut squash, mango etc.) and 25% proteins, fresh beef, chicken, high protein canned wet dog or cat food.
