chicken feed for dubia

[slong15]

hi!
on a crested gecko forum i had seen a lot of people talking about how they feed their dubia with chicken feed. would this also work for dubia for chams? i know they would need to be gut loaded with veggies and such before being fed off, but is this a suitable food for the others? im not too sure about all the protein/calcium type stuff with this so i didn't know if it would be okay for chams too. thanks!

Chicken feed contains too much animal based protein and fat to be considered a good choice of food for any bug you plan to feed off to your chameleons. It also often contains growth hormones, preformed vitamin A and other things you may need to be wary of.

I use rabbit feed for my crickets you might want to look at that for your dubies lots of alfalfa carrots but I also have a bowel of nature zone gutload cubes in there tub

I would never use chicken feed. There are good commercial gutloads you can buy wither in store or online that is good but that can only be half if not less of there diet. Give them fresh fruits and veggies
