Some gut loading studies released last year by the AZA Nutrition Advisory Group. ( Calcium to Phosphorus ratio of cricket nymphs fed Mazuri Better Bug powder, Mazuri Better Bug gel, or Mazuri High Calcium Gut Loading Diet powder)...

I had an email conversation with Mark Finke, a PhD nutritionist who has published some studies on the nutritional value of feeder insects, and got his permission to share my questions and his answers. Note that there’s a difference between gut loading and feeding feeders. Question: Do you think...

I’m not sure if I’ve shared this before but here’s a paper on altering the nutrient levels of feeder insects through a maintenance diet. I know Timberline uses this method with their own line of insects called Vita-Bugs. Instead of gut loading, feeder insects can be fed a maintenance diet that...

I made a survey on ZooMed’s Reptihabitat Leopard Gecko Kit. I want to see if I can try to convince them to make the kit in a way where more reptile keepers, including myself, are more comfortable with buying and/or recommend their kit to beginner reptile keepers...

I made this video to help as many reptile owners without a Solar Meter 6.5 choose the appropriate UVB lamp. What do you guys think?

By Frances Baines in the Reptile Lighting group on Facebook. “This is an open letter to the EU Commission, relating to the planned future total ban on all incandescent lamps including halogens, and all fluorescent lamps including compact lamps and tubes, also mercury vapour and metal halides. At...

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.

My local Petsmart will be stocking the rest of the items soon. They’re waiting for the 75 and 100 watt halogens, 50 watt and 75 watt basking spot bulbs, pro t5 kit, shadedweller kit, and etc.

I've been re reading some gut loading studies and would like to talk about the significant decrease of the calcium to phosphorus ratio in crickets fed papaya that's blended with calcium carbonate. "There was a significant decrease in the Ca to phosphorus ratio from day zero (baseline) to day...

Found a new study on Google scholar about gut loading earthworms. Has anyone here tried Nutrogrub from Vetark? I would like to know your experience with it. file:///Users/ayanaevans/Downloads/554-Article%20Text-4421-3-10-20210429.pdf

My Zukudla CricketMax2 samples have arrived 😁 Can’t wait to try them, especially since they’re made to gut load the feeders to a point where they don’t need dusting.

This is a rather long gutloading study and the only one that actually has something of a recommendation for nutrient levels in a gutloading diet. This diet claims to be formulated by zoologist and entomologist. It also stresses appropriate feeding procedures for optimal gutloading just like in...

I'm about to buy some silkworms and I've heard they do best on mulberry leaves but I currently have white mulberry powder. Can silkworms eat the berries produced by the tree they like so much?
