what too feed dubias?

[ForrestJungle]

Ok so I just got my dubias in....they are extreamly small. What should I do to feed and water them. I know what to put them it. I just need help with the water and food.

You'll want to feed your dubias healthy food since they are being used as prey. Here's a blog that is referenced a lot on here about gutloading: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/75-feeder-nutrition-gutloading.html

Despite their size, they shouldn't have problems eating. I have a mixed colony and the newborns eat the same as the adults.

I feed mine any veg thats about to turn, along with a frozen slurry of veg, and a dry rub/ i mean gut load of bee pollen, alfalfa, kelp, and yeast flakes.

Exactly what Randi said, just make sure you're gutloading them so your chameleon could get the nutrients from the insect and from what he has eaten

Mine came in today too. 25 small dubias. I just put a slice of orange in there and they're loving it!

Oranges, carrots, fresh veggies, dinofuel, bugburger PLUS plenty of heat and BAM!! You'll be overrun with dubs in a matter of months! And they'll be super healthy and super duper gutloaded!!

I feed mine fruits and greens along with repashy gutload. I also use water crystals
