ummm... I do use the T-rex diet for some of my chelonians.

Ummm... T-rex is marketing another tortoise diet which I use and have my name on it.

No hypocrocy here...

I can't see where I've recommended it and not used this diet.

If it is the same tort dust I have then it is made by T-Rex Tort Dust Veggie Formula and has the following ingredients

(Straight from the side of the pot)
Gauranteed Analysis
Crude Protein, min 13%
Crude fat, min 2.5%
Crude Fibre, max 15%
Moisture, max 8%
Ash, max 8%
Calcium (Ca), min 2.3%
Calcium (Ca), max 2.7%
Phosphorus (P), min 0.7%
Vitamin A Acetate 20,000 IU/Kilo
Vitamin D-3, min 4000 IU/Kilo

I mist admit that I don't use it atm as we were recommended to use Beaphor Reptile minerals instead, and if I hadn't thrown the outer packaging away would be able to list the ingredients

Note:
Don't oil or scratch your tortoise's shell as this can block the pores, attract dirt and increase the risk of infection.

Where did this thought come from...????

I use T-rex chelonian diets... for a couple of years.

I've said that... I'm not going to recommend anything that I have not used myself and have not had positive results as a result of that use.

Think about that point...

the point is that you keep recommending a diet that you havn't personally used so you don't have personal evidence to back up telling people to use it do you

It is a mineral supplement to be used as well as calcium, but not at the same time
