And kiwi!! Basically any fruit or veg you would eat yourself is a good choice! Sandrachameleon has some excellent blogs on gutloading feeders, right down to listing the vitamin & mineral content in each one! Kale, broccoli, spinach and kiwi have quite a bit of phosphorus that in large doses, can harm your Cham!

I wouldn't avoid Kale. Just do not use it every day, possibly once a week. The others you can avoid. Diversity is key. I recommend using butternut squash, kale, romaine lettuce, collard greens, mustard greens, alfalfa, dandelions, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds, and flax seeds. Then add a dry gutload to the mix, one with spirulina algae, bee pollen, marigold, turmeric root and dandelions work excellent.

I dont like using food from the store this is just my personal preferance. it takes alot of time and sometimes if u leave the food in the cricket container long enough it gets moldy. i reccoment getting bug burger by repashy, if you get a 14 oz it will last you way over a year and its only 15 - 20 bucks. but if not its all preferance! you can get kale, carrots, any kind of fruit, potatoes, just think of healthy things!
