best advice on here. youve got to starve him out for a bit. a well gutloaded stape feeder is a necessity. if hes drinking he will be fine without food for a week & hell eventually wanna eat. you could also try to change up the gutload or put him on a unfamilliar plant, you might find hes more agressive towards food. if hes turning into an absolute worm guy, gutload your supers the same way as your crix.

We only get to love them for a short time so why not make them happy.
i know variety is a good thing and i wouldn't mind just giving him worms while he's on strike... but how would you go about gutloading them???

I gut load my worms with the same things I use for the crickets. Silkworms are excellent feeders and I only use the Mulberry leaves for them.

Avid Member
what worms are you gutloading with the cricket gutload?? superworms and hornworms????
so you don't feed the silkies anything other than the mulberry leaves??? is that sufficient gutload????
thanks Jann....
try to make him forget about crix 4 long time , give him different types of worm but dont feed him too much just do that for a week or 2 than dont feed him for couple of days and after all that offer him crix . i did that with my veiled and it worked and he eats dubias too now always keep changing his food so he wont get spoiled

Superworms......as Jann wrote, just gutload the same as crickets. I dont use orange or other high water/sugar content fruit with superworms as it makes their bedding of oat bran too soggy and sticky but the rest is fine

i have been changing it up, he's been offered crickets, dubia, hornworms, silkworms, superworms and waxworms, oh yeah and phoenix worms also... for the most part crickets and when i ran low on them he got several meals of a mixture of the above worms... now that i have crickets he's trying to hold out for the juicy worms.. i have to admit that the crickets do seem to "disappear" from the cup after a day... i think that he may be eating them when i'm not looking..
