This is what I do now to keep my cost low, as well as making sure the T gets the needed nutrients.I keep Dubia roaches, but it should still directly apply. For the main colony, I feed them regular food, crushed up cat food, some fresh fruits every now and again (Maybe an orange slice a week or something of that nature). A few days before I feed my T's, I remove one or two roaches (Or however many I plan to feed off) and place them in their own separate deli cup with the Flukers gut load formula. They eat it for a day or two, then they get fed off. They only eat one of the small cubes, so even the small bottle of Flukers lasts for months!This has been very successful to me and also gives me some piece of mind knowing that my monsters are getting what they need. Its just one extra step so I haven't really noticed it to be much of a hassle! Best of luck! I hope that was of some help!</blockquote>
