i was just woundering what you guys are feeding you colony. i have been feeding mine a mixture of ground up cat food,oatmeal and cornmeal. then once or twice a week they get carrots, celery,apple, oranges.

I feed mine Oats/Cheerios and Greens.

what can i use as a water source? i don't have access to water gels.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Potatoes, apples, anything like that. no possibly way they can drown.

Fruit attracts fruit flies. I use greens. Usually left over from my torts. But any lettuces twice a week work fine for hydration.

 

[critterkeeper]

i got these at home depot. there the same thing you get at the pet but no water or food coloring. you just put some in a jar and add water. you could get them off ebay. i think they are going for .99 an ounce

 

[DalilahBlue]

Just make sure the brand you choose has no antifungals or such!

What your feeders eat your T's will eat. Read your labels!

 

[critterkeeper]

the flukers cricket quencher has water, polyacrylamide, copolymer, calcium, F&D yellow #5
the miracle-gro has polyacrylamide
i thought that it would be better then the stuff i get from the pet store because it just had the polyarylamide
what do you guys think ?

 

[DalilahBlue]

I would avoid anything with calcium in it...

However, you always have to worry that since they aren't expecting critters to eat it that it does have traces of chemicals that could harm them

anybody here knows something about repashy's bug burger?

 

[critterkeeper]

that is true

You want to feed your dubias a steady diet of roach chow and fresh fruits and veggies. Change these often though as they spoil fast.
