Also can I use as part as my gut load?

Strawberries, Mango? Not tying bananas. Already use Kale, collards, carrots, and apples. Plus a recipe for calcium gut load for crickets. TIA

Yeah you can, have you ever tried offering your cham/s strawberries from your hand? My female loves a bit as a treat.

Hello

Mango doesn't have a great calciumhosphorus level, papaya is a much better choice. You can also try a variety of winter squash steamed in the microwave, it's an excellent source of calcium and most of them have a sweet taste.

I don't use strawberries as a gut load but my little veild and my melleri love them as treats lol

This is a great resource to consult for gutloading. It's made for iguanas but it's the exact same concept. Aim for those higher in calcium than phosphorus and avoid goitrogens and oxalates.

I wouldn’t use that just as my main source of gut- load. Just was curious if I could cut it to add to my regular cricket gut- loading ingredients. Thank you for all of your answers
