They are alive as when you touch them they move. I don't have many so they probably wont die before I feed them to my cham but I wanted to get some good nutrients in them first. All the bugs I buy eat loads of variety but these don't. It's so bizarre.
Ok cool,
Well I left some squash and lettuce in there.
I only brought 10 as it's the first time I've fed Dubia's before so wanted to try them out first. The room they're in is quite warm =D
I hope they've eaten by the time I get home from work!
Really?
They didn't eat anything over night though? They litterally all huddle together and don't move. It's so annoying. My hoppers eat anything in sight!
I recently purchased Dubia Roaches for the first time and I've tried to gutload them but they wont eat! So far I've tried squash and lettuce.
Is there something in particular these guys like?
They just all huddle together under the egg carton!
I am thinking of making up a batch of gutload to freeze. I was thinking about using squash, sweet potato, a small amount of carrot and apple and maybe some lettuces leaves of various sorts. I want to use green beans to but can I use green beans?
Can anybody think of anything else that's...
So which of these can I actually feed to my cham and which ones can be classed as a staple:
Beetle Larvae (the Pachnoda grub)
Butterworms
Silkworms
Phoenix Worms
Wax Worms (I know this is a treat only).
Are wax worms and butter worms the same!?
Thanks!
I also heard too soak cotton wool balls for moisture. To be honest I hardly do anything with my crickets (just feed them) and they live ages.
It's not too hot in the room and the box has lot's of ventilation. So I honestly think ventilation is the trick.
