[Neill]

What do you guys feed your feeders??? My feeders diet is...

Organic Oats
Organic Oranges
Organic Apples

Want to add more organic foods in but not sure what else to throw in.

 

[Cola7]

potatoes, water in a sponge, and dried cat food.

 

[acpart]

Progeckos gutload for all, and veggie scraps for the mealworms and superworms. Water crystals (I buy the crystals in bulk) for the crickets.

Aliza

I should just look this up, but are potatoes just starch? Or is it a wise idea for crickets and roaches? I get "soil moist" garden section of those hardware stores. Its exact same stuff as water crystals but SOOOOOO CHEAP (highly recommend it)!

 

[BGalloway]

Plenty of fresh greens, and then whatever mixed veggies I have on hand, occasionally bits of dry dog food or a pinch of wet.

The potatoes have a high water content, so it acts as food/water sort of

cat/dog food is only good for breeding feeders you do not want to feed off any feeder that has been eating it.the protein can be very hard on a herps digestive system. its best to feed your feeders veggies fruits and flukers pre mixed dry gutload and cricket crack. potato sucks but works and lasts in a pinch. my lobster roaches thrive on flukers gutload and quincher as well as honey nut cherios, small amounts of veggies as it molds fast in the dark heat. i keep chameleons that eat veggies also so what ever scraps off the lettuce/carrot etc goes in my feeder bins. i always have thousands of various sized crix,roaches, super, meal, and wax worms. my leos hate meal worms arent big enough for supers at least i dont want to risk it and my roaches well the colony is just geting started. i know walot of people who cant breed lobsters but concidering my feeding methods and how i started with 60 in late november and i have prob 100+ babies im doing well. also flukers complete diet orange cubes work far better than potato for the worms and dont smell or rot well they smell like an orange lol
