I leave out a dry cat biccy mix, then I have a forage box filled with finacard where I hide mealworms and other worm things. He doesnt really think much of dried so I dont bother. every few days I chuck a few live locust loose into his viv - which he hunts and eats. They are always gone in the morning and it is interesting for him hunting them Smile He loves locust lol

I feed Dried / tinned/ vaccum packed Crickets, not live, we did try but just ended up with them in the house for weeks when they escaped lol

Mine also love P@H applaws, the cat food thats basically chunks of chincken. They will also take banana. Sometimes mine also get baby food, they take sunday lunch or the fruit ones (Not acid fruit). They will eat mince also
