Feeder ratios

[Ceycham]

Still trying to find the right feeding routine with enough variety and nutrition without getting the mix wrong...So far I'm feeding crickets, mealworms (last batch just to get rid of, as I'm hearing they are not great feeders), blue bottle flies and their larvae, black soldier fly larvae as I have no flies yet, and planning to add roaches and hornworms or silkworms. Not limited to those, but at this time that's what's on the menu.

I believe I have read that worms and larvae are fatty. How would you ration your chams meals? Each day an equal number of every feeder variety? Larger percentage crickets or roaches, smaller percentage of worm/larvae? Some days just one feeder, another day just another feeder? A mix of all of the above if I feel like it, variety is the important thing?

Thanks for your opinions!

Crickets and roaches make up about 70-80% of what's fed. The rest is up to you. Really I just kind of do what I feel like. It's hard to say an exact routine(I know this is frustrating I had the same question starting out). Sometimes I feed just crickets, sometimes just a large roach, sometimes I feed a mix of all my feeders at once. I just try to make it randomized. The important part is for the majority to be nicely gutloaded crickets/roaches.
