I have been wondering if the Clarks diet is the best formy geckos because I dont think that they would being getting wheat or brans in their natural haditats. Please reply to this with any opinions or an answer if I should be feeding my geckos this or not. :)

All of the powdered diets have some form of grain in them, it is not harmful to the geckos at all and provides both nutrition and fiber. Keep in mind they will never encounter honey, spirulina, calcium powder, or any number of the other ingredients, in the wild. They are put in there to meet the nutritional needs of the geckos. They will also never encounter the house cricket (acheta domestica) but that makes up a large portion of their captive diets. The point I'm trying to make is that all captive animals are fed things they do not encounter in the wild. :D :D
