Gut Loading Meal Worms -Nonbreeder

[Desdemona]

Yep, the crickets are gone. I figure I could buy a few when I go to the petstore and gutload them over night for a once a week treat.

Anyways, since I only have one I don't think breeding is for me. So they will be in the fridge. I put 9 in a small container to gut load and gave them wet baby food, carrots, and fish food. Is doing one day plus a few extras good enough or do you gut load larger amounts? More might go through the food faster and create less waste in that area.

Thoughts?

If you're keeping them in the fridge they're not gonna eat so you're wasting your gutload. Take them out for a day or 2, then gutload with things like fish food, fruits veggeis carrots, crushed high quality dog kibbles. I would take out enough for 2-3 feedings and keep them in a cricket type keeper in the gutload mix then feed them to the leo. Bring more out of hibernation as you go thru those so you have a constant consistant cycle of gut loaed mealies you're going thru before they pupate.
