i would like to hear from some people that have tried them i might get into contact with some vets to see what thay are like and if thay are any good
Why do you think that vets have tried them? I would of thought they would prefer to eat prime beef cuts given they way most charge.
*San Diego Zoo (SDZ) turkey diet
(use this as a supplement, not as a steady diet)
Mix 2kg of minced turkey with 45 grams of bonemeal (available at health food stores) or calcium
powder (preferably calcium gluconate, which is sometimes available from chemists – you may have
to order it) and one Centrum tablet, crushed. Roll into small sausage shapes and freeze in plastic
bags, so you can bring them out one at a time and chop up easily, then thaw. The San Diego Zoo
nutritionists developed this diet – apparently it replicates the nutritional value of a mouse. Baby
monitors love it, but it does give them much runnier stools than whole rodents (the hair is a good
binder). It’s always preferable to give whole rodents and whole food in general, but sometimes are
rodent shortages in the reptile trade so the SDZ turkey diet is good as an interim measure.

Yes I do recall the reason for it's short-lived popularity........the enclosure walls are "painted" and it takes lots longer to clean the enclosure.....there's always a downside
I remember seeing a video of a German (?) Herpetologist feeding hundreds of snakes with a set up similar to the way chickens are force fed. Grab the animal, shove its' open mouth onto a nozzle type thing and pump away with a foot pedal. Very fast and his snakes seemed in great shape.
I thought it was gross
