feeding problem.

[paolo escoto]

my T's won't eat superworms. they just kill it and leave it. superworms are the only food that i have access to. shops who sell crickets and stuff (that i know) are out of the city where i live. how do i make them eat superworms? is there a way?

Have you thought about raising your own crickets? I would not feed worms alone even if my ts would eat them. They are not a nutrionally complete diet. I would think they would eat them if they get hungry enough though. Sometimes it takes ts a while to get used to a food they haven't been fed before.

A little wine, low lighting, and Barry White?

Here's a good article. http://www.anapsid.org/crickets.html

Roaches are better then crickets in every way... just saying.

 

[DalilahBlue]

I agree, and frankly from what I have read, easier and cleaner.

 

[paolo escoto]

okay thanks. i'll try to find some suppliers near my area.

i'm gonna get a dubia colony and try to maintain it.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Those are my exact plans for this spring

I would love to get roaches but there illegal here in Canada I guess. I failed at my first cricket colony attempt, I let the containers for the eggs dry up a bit when I was at work... I think that's what I did wrong. Have to try again.

What kind of roaches do you use? Many people say stay away from certain kinds but others seem to like them. I was thinking of trying Blatta Laterallis if I could find some.

Dubia are extremely easy to maintain. You won't be disappointed.

No, no smell, no noise, and all around the healthiest food for your T.
