Feeder Questions

[Fchamel]

Hi! I have some questions about feeders and their setup.

1. How should their home be set up? Do I leave them in their Org. containers, or do I put them in new ones?
2. How often do I gut load? I usually just place veggies in the container once I get the bugs. I'm really bad about replacing it.

*can someone post a photo of their setup?*

Thanks, everyone!

Define "feeder"

Dubia can be kept in a tall rubbermaid tote or a 10 gallon aquarium, both with lids with holes in them, lots of cardboard egg cartons. high humidity environment.

Super worms should be kept in a shallow rubbermaid tote with no lid, in bran. Low humidity environment. (well if you put a lid on them, you get oatmeal so...)

Crickets need to be kept in a container with screen on at least 2 sides and the top, or they will fart themselves to death, lots of egg cartons.

Back to the "what is a gut load" fight...

But you want their "diet" to be the official "gutload" list of chameleon forums

Termite farts are responsible for about 20 million tons of methane being released into the atmosphere every year. That is roughly 4% of all methane emissions in the world!

Farts: which animals do, which don’t, and why

I've owned many reptiles over the years. I've actually seen my turtles and bearded dragon fart when in water (e.g. tubfarts). The beardie farts just before he ?s.

@Gingero Superworms freak me out too! And wax worms. Good thing I only feed small ones now!

 

[Gingero]

Luckily the wax worms don't freak me out as much as supers. The supers really thrash around and have the reputation of biting -- no thank you.
