Diet beyond crickets

[Hdrydr31]

They love chasing them down OMG when I gave Izzy some for the first time I thought she was going to eat herself into a frenzy she devoured them

Izzy easily eats a full grown male or female roach they get up to 2"! lifespan is 11/2 year for male and 2 years female

Nice. I'll get supers and Dubai and some crickets

I started Izzy on dubia's really early probably Sosa's size, he should be able to eat a small juv easy

Okay I will actually just go to petco now and check out what they have!

like I said Petco has the best selection of feeder bugs and that's where I go when I need bugs and it's too cold to ship

 

[Tessa]

Way too cold right now!

I give my crickets those flukers orange cubes. Do the other bugs eat those?

you would be better off mixing up white corn meal, rolled oats, and some fish flake food.... this can be given to all feeder bugs
then go to home depot and get water crystals (used for soil) for your water

I just went to petco and they only have crickets meal worms and wax worms

that's super weird wonder if it's a reginal thing? I looked and you can get dubia there in GA

 

[Tessa]

Looks like petsmart has wax, super, flightless fruit flies and that's it

 

[Tessa]

The guy said that this region doesn't sell dubia

 

[Tessa]

My boss has snakes and he's pretty knowledgeable about reptile stores in the area. I will ask him. For now I will ask for super and wax and cricket

 

[Hdrydr31]

boo hiss

 

[Tessa]

I know! And of course their supply trucks come tomorrow. They don't even have any small crickets lol

 

[Tessa]

Out of wax too... Super it is!

 

[Tessa]

Should I just keep the super worms in the container they come in?

 

[Tessa]

If you have any advice on storing them and gut loading them so I can get the most out of them please let me know

yes you can, what i've done is got a gladware tuperware container that's like 4 inches high poked a bunch of holes in the top, the stuff that they are in is wheat bran so I got some more and I have them in our basement to keep them cool not cold... like once a week I'll put a carrot in there
