When to feed your feeders ?

[jorgeduardo]

Well First of all Thank you to all the members in this forum for all the information provided ! it is just amazing . I'm new in here and its been really useful.
I am planing to buy a chameleon and I've been reading a lot a doing a lot of research this past two months. I have already ordered my screen cage and all the things that I need, and I'm getting really excited lol. I'm getting kinda of addicted to this haha.
Well lets go back to the question, the thing is that I didn't find anything about when to feed my feeders, what I mean is that I know that I have to gut-load them few hours before give them to the cham; but how often should I feed the feeders ? Should I gut-load them every day ? or you guys just give them the gut-load and then use other things to feed them ?

Thank you Again

If fed a nutritious diet, feeders will be more nutritious than if only gut loaded a short time before being fed. Especially if they are raised on a nutritious diet, and not merely fed the diet as adults. So I feed my feeders good stuff throughout their lives. And I raise my own.

I feed my bugs greens, veggies, fruit and a home made dry gutload based on sandra ' s recipe exclusively. I feed them in the evening every other day as they usually take about 48 hours to consume everything. I don't see any reason to feed them lesser foods.

Thank you very much .. so I should just keep feeding them when they are done with their previous food is that right ?

I have dry gut load and wet, ie. fruit and veggies etc, in with my feeders all the time. I change it out every other day as mouldy food isn't good for anyone.
