question about feeders for veiled chameleon

[whysoez420]

For a month old veiled should I gutload the feeders with a store bought mix of gutload? And do the feeders need to drink some sort of vitamin drink? Thanks in advance for any help.

What feeders are you feeding?

that store bought crap for crickets is just that.. crap.

Its not healthy and nutritious.

If youre feeding crickets, use fresh fruits and veggies, a lot of the foods from sandrachameleons blogs.

yes crickets for now

Stay away from the Flukers cubes and stuff like it if you can. There are some really good gutloads out there that have amazing ingredients. You do need to offer the crickets a form of moisture, and I do this with an orange slice, or some fresh greens like kale, collard or mustard greens.

this is a link to sandras blog on gutloading, its got lots of good info on proper gutloads and how you can make your own! https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/75-feeder-nutrition-gutloading.html

like decadancin said, there are some good commercial gutloads out there, cricket crack and bug burger are two of them that are nutritious and popular.
