[QUOTE="kormath, post: 68681, member: 4199"] I use cuticle scissors to cut the meal worms, or something similar if they've grown legs and moved from the feeding area ;) the scissors that is. All of my Ts range from 1/4" to 3"+ and they all eat lateralis roaches. Are you allergic to all roaches? There's quite a variety of them you can feed to your Ts, check aaronpauling.com, he's got the largest variety I've seen. Josh's frogs and Fluker Farms has crickets and a good variety of worms also. I'd go with Fluker's if you're ordering crickets online, they have everything from pinheads to adults. Only problem with crickets is they don't live long. I like their food products and water gel for the feeders also. I use their gutload cricket chow and water gel for my roach colony along with veggie scraps once or twice a week. Flightless fruit flies are a real pain to use. The T's have to get them quick as the flies will always crawl up the wall and hang out on the ceiling. Someone mentioned putting them in the fridge for a few minutes to slow them down but I tried that and it didn't help, or at least not for my lazy T anyway. [/QUOTE]
