    Slugs in bio active enclosure

    Yes key is to keep your CuC fed with all kinds of stuff. I’m using leaf litter, trim waste and sometimes veggies or fruit rests. It’s correct, also has a big slug problem and tried the beer trap method (which works good) and the solution you tried already, putting in food and through them...

    Random Veileds

    My local Petsmart. I keep telling the associates and manager, omit feeding them the bowl of veggies. Remove the water bowl just mist the cage. Petsmart has the option to get the arboreal setup from the cage manufacturer.

    Don’t ever feed your feeders non organic!

    Yikes! I used cheap veggies to feed my Differentialis. I hung the food to avoid all the poop falling onto the food.

    I need help making a bio active terrarium

    ...give the cuc some of whatever I’m feeding my feeder insects - I put it under their cork bark so they can stay hidden as they enjoy some fresh veggies. Every now and then I’ll find an escapee isopod strolling down the hall. I’ve determined that some came out when the leaf litter had become...

    Treat bugs how often?

    ...This is the case for most foods. This might be the case like if you had a pet human and fed it "the most protein dense plant per calorie" it would starve to death on a full stomach because it would be 1kg to get 100 calories, so 45 pounds of veggies a day to get your 2000 calories to live.

    New Keeper Questions...

    ...him so I appreciate your referrals. As for gutloading, I will definitely step up my game (I'm a picky eater so don't typically keep a lot of veggies in the house so buying specifically for feeders and the veggies spoiling before going through them is kicking my butt. I've heard of people...

    Bump on jaw?

    It’s not that all veggies are bad…some are just better than others and veileds don’t need any. I won’t give my beardies any spinach or kale, but I do give a variety of other greens, like dandelion, turnip, mustard, arugula. I use the same to give to my insect feeders. I do have to give a word...

    Gut Loading Meat

    Dont feed your feeders high protein fish flakes etc. This includes "meat". Even if said feeders dont store the excess as uric acid, they will be higher in non insect/veggie protein. Cham kidneys will only take so many pinkies per week before they start getting iffy, as an example. Though it...

    Cricket enclosure

    ...litter on top of the soil and I sprinkle tiny bits of dry fish food flakes in as well. I sprinkle a tiny bit of bee pollen to any of the veggies that the crickets eat as well. I keep this bin in my small grow tent. Then if they escape They are still contained with in the tent. ( well not...

    Gutloading Crickets

    Looks like Skittles offered you a good bit of florida specific advice. Florida ants are a menace, and I often don't consider pests because the Alaskan climate kind of nullifies a lot of the more common ones 😅

    Feeding supplements to feeders

    ...gets 1/8 of a cup every day or two and the smaller or slow eaters get like a couple tablespoons. Most of my diet is winter and summer squash, a huge variety of dark leafy greens, about 8 different types of fruit, and other root veggies. Probably about 20 different fresh things available overall

    Help, my yemen chameleon keeps hissing at night

    ...there, but here (for now at least) produce like mustard or turnip greens are inexpensive. What many people do is make a purée of the various veggies and then freeze like ice cubes and then you can grab & thaw a cube for your bugs. I keep a bag of frozen mixed veggies for ‘emergency’ bug food...

    Deadly Chameleon Myth series

    ...things in higher abundance than bee pollen. It’s true there’s of anti nutrients out there too, that’s why it’s good to rotate greens and veggies even for us. I have been of the opinion that a well raised feeder is more important than gutload, same with variety of feeders. Like some good...

    Gutloading Schedule?

    ...Friday. They get a gutload cube, once a week I put in pre-made bug burger too and then occasionally i'll just throw in scraps of fresh veggies from the gut load list. I also get Josh's Frogs Premium Cricket Cuisine as a dry gut load to feed my bugs too, this is always in their bins and I...

    ...every other day or so. The vermiculite is in a small container inside the main cricket container for them to lay. No, I do not carry those veggies in my refrigerator, but it appears I will have to make a trip to the store here. I've been primarily feeding carrots and sweet potatoes. And...

    Introduction to the community

    ...for the crickets to lay their eggs”…I have always used washed playsand as a substrate for crickets…but many things work. You said…”As far as veggies? What would be out of the ordinary”…do you normally have in your fridge things like dandelion greens, kale, collards, endive, etc that are good...

    Gutloading Schedule?

    Oh yeah…that’s great! I usually remove them from whatever it is they are shipped in and place them in a soil/coco coir substrate (just enough to cover them and give a little room for squirming). Maybe once a week I moisten the soil a bit and give them something like shaved carrot, squash or...

    Green Mold in Superworm Culture

    I keep my crickets on a paper towel substrate for easy cleaning and put their food on something like a paper plate or similar. For superworms I keep them on wheat bran, which they eat and then I’ll give just small slices of a lower moisture veggie, like carrot, squash, sweet potato to hydrate...
