First time making food...

[renzo0684]

So I made some food.... I added melon, sweet peppers, and collard greens... to make it a little thicker and not so watery I added oats so it became more of a paste. I put it all in a food processor to mix....Does this sound horrible or will it ok?

What type of feeders? I'm not sure if oats are recommended (except for superworms, they eat oats and it can double as substrate). I'll have to try blending gutloads up and freezing. Currently I use 'cricket crack' for the dry portion and cut up small pieces of veggies and fruits. Seems to work well for me.

It was going to be for crickets but if the oats won't work I'll not use them and make a new batch

I use a small amount of oats in my dry gutload, it adds a small amount of protein but also b vitamins

I just use kale, mustard greens and a lot of carrots and just chop with a knife for my crickets. I feed my adult chameleons every two days so on the days I don’t feed them I feed the crickets so by time I feed the chams again the crickets are stuffed but I just mix a little bit and dump it all in I go through 1500 crickets a week tho

I feed my colonies good chow and greens/fruit all year round 24/7 so that they are grown healthy.

I also dump in some store bought cricket feed sometime you really have to read what’s in most of that stuff tho most is garbage

Yeah that's what I did I put a small amount in there just to give it some texture

Yeah I make my own dry gutload but it's not for someone whose looking for doing something quick. A 2 lb batch takes about 1 hour for me to make minimum
