live food

I was boring and stuck with mealies!
Stick to what you know. Think i will try some locust next though.

Yeah I get the cans of crickets, the mini ones because Tia won't eat the bigger ones. She doesn't eat fresh meat when I offer it to her, but loves insects so I try to give her a variety of insects. I've heard reports of hogs liking locusts! I don't think they come in a can though so I will probably not be getting those!

I usually feed my Brambles meal worms and she loves them, she eats them in record time. I have not tried any other live food et, but have tried some cooked mincemeat which she loved.

i've offered my two crickets with the legs pulled off so that they can be caught easily as it was painful watching the two of them chasing after a cricket who clearly had the advantage.

mine wont eat live food by the look of it :-( I got some crickets fed them up and she didnt like them, so i put them in the freezer and thought maybe its cuz it is a live put them out in a dish didnt touch them yet i then rubbed them in the dry mealworms and she bloody ate them lol, might try her with live mealworms to see but have a feeling its whatever thats in the packet that she knows the smell of which makes her want them......... I can only but try hey, shame if thats the case as i thought it would be good for her to hunt a bit for her food if not ill stick to gut loading the crickets up and putting them in the freezer, i know they can get mites and pass them onto the animals so sometimes i think freezing the crickets least that would kill the mites on them if you couldnt see them, i do try to check they look ok before i do anything with them .
