Hi all,
I know there are plenty of gutload recipes on here and some excellent resources too. My problem is that many of the things I see people using prove difficult to obtain here in the UK. Or just dont exist here!
I want to start creating my own bulk gutload with fresh fruit/veggies and freezing in small amounts for my livefood. This will prove so much easier and cheaper for me in the long run.
I know its good to keep gutloads varied, however I am looking for a good staple gutload that I can feed to my insects often to deliver a nutritious balanced intake for my chams.
Can anyone recommend some staple key ingredients, say anything upto 8 ingredients that cover all bases.
I dont want to feed my insects too much, or not enough of something.
Popular ingredients that people talk about that can be easily obtained here in the UK are the following....
Thats all I could list off the top of my head.
Thanks.
