Wasn't sure if this went here or Invertebrates.
How do you all gutload your feeder insects? I am thinking of starting a colony of feeders for a Fire Skink.
I have read they eat a variety of insects, earth worms being a favorite. Also crickets, butter worms, silk worms, meal worms and apparently "
a variety of washed, rinsed, dried and finely chopped fruit."
So of all the insects to choose, what would you start a colony of for this lizard and what would you do to gutload them. I have read you can buy premade gutload or just make it using crushed dog food, greens, and cereal. Thoughts?
I was told to feed him 6 crickets every other day, but it seems a small amount coming from snakes. He weighs 26.5 grams, any opinions on his current diet? I am dusting 6 crickets a week. The Reptivite bottle says 12 crickets dusted a week for every 71grams of body weight. The supplement I am using is here.
