Gutload ice cubes

[Sonny13]

Forum members already tried this? And had good results with it?

Made my gutload and proportioned it in ice cubes. Which go in the freezer and by time take one out, the night before, and feed it to my feeders.
Just put in the first fresh load and they’re all over it!

I’ve never tried that so I’m not sure, nor have I personally seen it on the forums, I have seen people do it with silkworm chow though. What did you use to make it? Most chameleon owners use fresh produce within these categories

Yes. I have/do make the cubes. It's so easy. Just pop a cube into your bin and walk away! You never have scraps to clean up if your colony is big enough. And they eat a lot of the variety instead of one or 2 veggies scraps.

I like to keep to the chart posted above, using 70% greens, 15%other veggies, and 10%fruit, and 5% others...but I think it is a great way to gutload.

I do this, though i just put the frozen cube in. It rots very quick, so you only got a days worth before it goes brown.

Used cat. 1till 3 from leaflet accept the cat. 4 items. Because I didn’t had them, for now . In total 8 different ingredients.

I’m sorry I had a hard time reading that and I still can’t read it without my mind tricking me I’ll definitely try this as well though.

They used categories 1-3 (from the chart you posted), but didn't have the ingredients from category 4, so did not use those ones.

I did that with my turtles. It works pretty good.

I also have been doing this ever since I started my colonies. Works great with no wasted food scraps to mold or pick out.
You can make up a big batch and put them in the freezer so you don't have to worry about gutload. Yours is a little different color tho, usually it's green.

 

[GrayMadder]

I did this too! Works great!!

I spread my mixture into a large shallow Tupperware container and freeze it. It comes out of the container as a thin sheet and I break it up with the handle of a butter knife. Stick all the broken pieces in a ziplock baggie and it’s feeder food for a whole month. Love it!

works pretty good. Color, could be due the banana.
