[QUOTE="Andee, post: 120010, member: 26964"] You should be fine then, if your T's eat them then you should be good. The sad thing with the canned ones is they are very unhealthy as far as gut content etc. Which for T's I assume we don't dust (not sure since I don't have T babies yet but do have herps and some other insects), but I assume because of that gut content is even more important then? Plus they don't move at all... and honestly smell horrible. If you have a sick T that you worry about feeding live prey to, kill or cripple your live food you feed until the next molt the T has, or blend the bugs and provide the T's with a kind of smoothie? I do it with some of my rescues herps. Sadly I love my insects even my feeders, but am well aware of what other species need. So I treat my feeders like kings and queens and do what I have to otherwise. [/QUOTE]
