Gutload Recipes

[Linds]

What is your gutload recipe? I use the same gutload diet for all my feeders, dry for worms and I moisten it and put it in a bottle cap for crickets.

i toss in my leftover greens (from the iguana salad) for the crix
- collards, dandelion, water cress, arugula...that kinda stuff
as well as a dish of fish flakes smushed with water

my dry mix is a combo of grains (oats, bran, wheat germ) spirulina flakes, powderes alfalfa, milk powder and some calcium powder
i add something juicy for them to chomp on the top like a zuchinni ir a piece of spag. squash

LOL...thanks Chris!

Thanks for sharing, Sillke!

For the mice and rats I give them broccoli, carrots, gatorade, and sunflower seeds for 48hrs. Another method is to deny food and drink for a full 24-36 hours and then letting them gorge right before feeding them off. Not a gutload for crixs but even snakes benefit from preping the prey.
