Absolutely. Small dubia nymphs would be great. Hydei Fruit Flies. Springtails maybe. Dwarf White Isopods. Small silkworms. And lucky for you, SmallPetFeeders.com carries most of those, waiting on the springtails though. Just shoot me a PM if you'd like to assemble a care package from us to your new friend

If you hurry, I can get your order out today, but I leave for the Post office in 2 hours, so it would have to be in the next hour.

baby roaches.

meal worms are not staple foods.
they arent that high in nutrition, and theyhave a hard exo skeleton that can cause impaction. ok for a treat once in a while, but not as a regular feeder

 

[Dave]

Agreed. You'd be best feeding very small dubia roaches and Hydei Fruit Flies. Small silkworms would work well too.

Anything that will fit in its mouth I see you are in OH. Here in WV there are tons of small brown crickets and wolf spiders running around. Along with those you can catch moths at night, other spiders, grasshoppers, daddy long legs, etc. Just make sure the insect is small enough the cham wont choke on it, collect where you know pesticides arent being used and know what you are feeding off. If you are unsure about the pesticides you can keep the bugs for a couple days, if they dont die by then they should be safe.

My Jackson babies ate pretty much everything I would offer them with the exception of Dubia nymphs. They would not touch them.

Do this anyways, whether you think they're clean or not. I can almost guarantee any and almost every live insect has come in contact with some sort of contaminant in its life. Just be careful.

Here in Toledo Ohio They go around with a truck and spray alot for the mosquitoes, so probably not a good idea but I was raised in Webstersprings W.Va Oh I miss it so much.They don't do that there I know.Oh the country life how I do miss it .You are so lucky )))))))

Ahhh thats a bummer I couldnt imagine living somewhere that I couldnt just go outside in the warmer months and collect bugs, especially when I have a ton of babies!!!

Along with what has been mentioned, house flies when your cham is small and then blue bottle flies after it gets a decent size. Im not sure where else you can get them besides mantisplace.com which my friend is having some troubles getting a hold of her to see about his order placed weeks ago. Hopefully nothing is severely wrong. If you try there definitely send an email first and see if she gets back to you.

I use primarily blue bottle flies in the winter with crickets here and there. The pupae can take shipping in cold weather better than crickets. Plus I hate paying pet store cricket prices. Your jacksonii will no doubt love them!!
