When I was a kid I used to feed my anoles by going into the back yard, gathering a big pile of dog crap, and then every so often I would run up on it w/ a butterfly net and catch like 20+ of those black house flies. I thought about doing this to give a little variety to my chams and give them something challenging to hunt. The only draw back is the idea of the flies being gutloaded on dog crap.
To get the flies in the anoles cage, I used to let the flies fly to the top of the net. Twist the net so they couldnt get out. Pop it in the fridge for a few minutes. And then drop em in the cage. The cold flies were easier for the anoles to catch, and I never had a problem with them flying away when I put the lid back on.
Anyone see why this wouldn't work for my Chams? And also does anyone have a suggestion on how to gut load them?
Thanks for the info!
