super worms

[LennyandLilly]

I give my cham Dubai roaches, along with about 3 super worms a week. He used to eat crickets but stopped....I am expecting a new female on wednesday. She comes to me pregnant. Any suggestions on what her diet should be now.

I went today and bought a small group if Dubia, some butterworms, superworm and 2 hornworms to see what he will like so I can start a system. The crickets are just too boring for him unless they are free roaming the cage but the cage is too big to let them loose.

I have no experience with pregnant females but I'd feed something high in calcium since eggs take calcium. I think phoenixworms are ok for that.

But do correct me if I'm wrong

Would silks be good too? Also do you still feed the same number of Dubia as you would crickets?

My new girl is here and a piglet in eating. She eats 6 dubious and around 12 crickets. My gosh i hope this isnt too much....i always found josh that they eat way more crickets than Dubais.

I found out my guy just doesn't like cup feeding. He wants to go back to his Dino roots and hunt I guess. I have to put the crickets on the inside of the cage and he will go for them. I can feel a little ok with letting them gonin the cage because I made sure the seems are tight. He will only eat Dubia the same way but I just can't feel comfortable letting those go in the cage unsupervised. As for superworm though gh he has no interest at all but I still need to try smaller ones before I right these off. On the other hand the hornworms we're about the same size as these and he didn't heaitate to eat those. Still waiting for some silks I ordered to see what he does.
