Fly question.

[Chellia]

I'm purchasing a 2 month old veiled from flchams in a few weeks and I have a feeder question.

I'm planning on having a large supply of silks, Phoenixs (at least at first), roaches and houseflies/blue bottle for the staple diet and butterworms, hornworms, crickets, and superworms for variety.

Would flies be too big for a two month old? Or is there a particular type of fly that is good for younger chams?

Also, which feeders from my list should I dust?

Crap! I meant to post this in the "food" section, but I'm on my phone and must have hit the wrong thing! Sorry!!!

The stabble flies are the next size up from fruit flies - they should work -or hydei fruit flies. I dust crickets and flies and gut load with either cricket crack or bug buffet for supers- supers will be too big - if you have access to a mulberry tree - silk worm from eggs are good- i just put in a couple of fresh leaves daily until they hatch- I use the "fly food" from mantis place for the flies.
Phoenix worms are good no dusting required.

Thank you! Great info I'll hold back on the snacks until he is a bit bigger. Anything else small that would be good for variety?
