blended vs whole wet gut load

[Lazy Boy]

I see some people blend it up in the blender and freeze it and some just give it whole. Either way better? Is it easier for the feeders to eat the puree or is it just a mess?

I have tried both ways. The blended cube version can be convenient, and you can make batches with different ingredients so that you can rotate them. Now I just end up using the whole veggies and fruits as it just seems quicker for me given that my bug colonies are getting larger and the cubes were only for my small groups. It really just depends on what you are feeding and how large the colonies are. I find the cubes are only good for small groups of crickets or roaches etc. If you have a large colony it seems better to use the whole food items.

Great answer thanks. Sounds good to me.

both work. I prefer whole foods for fresh and blended for dry.
note: freezing can mess with Vitamin B1
