How much do you dust onto the feeders? Are you barley able to notice any powder on the insects, or are they almost a snowman?

@DocZ I think I found the diet that this study is covering through the meta description.

@DocZ I highly recommend that you search key words or use the table of contents for the second link. It’s a hundred pages long and covers different animals last I remembered.

I got them. https://nagonline.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Brooks2-Brooks-Harris-2017-Gut-loading-diet-evaluation-for-crickets-mealworms-superworms.pdf Please let me know if this link works. https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/entities/publication/99905f11-ea0a-4092-bf56-b357d70c512a

Have you read the study that compares Mazuri Better Bug, Mazuri Hi Calcium Gut Loading Diet, Mazuri tortoise food mixed with fresh veggies, and Purina Gamebird Startena?It was done on crickets, mealworms, and superworms. There’s also another one that compared the nutrients of crickets when fed...

I gut load my mealworms with Repashy Superload for 48 hours.

Yes, I have an Exo Terra large cave under the rocks in the middle and a round food container under the rocks on the right side.

The last time I showed you guys my leopard gecko enclosure it was with a background that I thought was tacky so I took it off and I also re-did the entire thing too. Replaced the background with window film. This is her year old improved home… for now at least.

I keep my crickets in the basement, there’s a heat lamp for warmth.

I am one of those people that view gut loading differently. To me gut loading is where I feed crickets that I have separated from the colony a diet made to alter the calcium to phosphorus ratio to 1:1, allowing the calcium supplement to further increase it to 2:1. No fresh produce is given to...

https://nagonline.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Brooks2-Brooks-Harris-2017-Gut-loading-diet-evaluation-for-crickets-mealworms-superworms.pdf There was another study where Mazuri performed better than Repashy Superload in increasing nutrients in medium sized crickets...

I use Mazuri Better Bug for my crickets and superworms. They’re proven to improve the calcium to phosphorus ratio in them but known to kill mealworms quicker. Only use this for 48 hours before giving them to your chameleon, the high amount of calcium kills them within a few more days otherwise...

@kinyonga I’m almost done with the samples of the “GLD” they gave me.

Whoops I mean vitamin D3 not E sorry 😂. I thought you were replying to a conversation on the minimum and maximum vitamin requirements of chameleons. Sorry for the confusion.

Only covers vitamin A and vitamin E for one type of chameleon, but at least it’s something. I’ve been using the gut load that they designed in that study on my mealworms for 48 hours before I give them to my gecko.

I find it strange that there’s no real commercial value for the exact nutrient requirements of chameleons. I would think that zoological organizations would want to pay for research on something like this. I hope whoever accepts the research grant from Mazuri can study this.

Wait, what research are we talking about? Just gut loading to increase nutrients in feeder insects in general?
