A black cylindrical 5 gallon bucket is needed so we can test this hypothesis. I’ll buy one for you and have it shipped to your house! They’re on Amazon for $10.00 with Prime delivery. I think it has to be a black bucket and here’s why: Shark tanks are cylindrical because sharks must swim...

I don’t see why this couldn’t be fed to dubia. Give it a try

I compared the ingredients in both. Dragon fuel is insect fuel on steroids. Same ingredients as insect fuel but then adds way more stuff.

All of my chameleons are adults on the verge of obesity so I don’t need too many crickets! When babies are around it’s like a conveyor belt of feeders. Not so much anymore.

The only downside is Arcadia Dragon fuel is $20.00 a bag and Repashy Bug Burger is $12.00 for the two bottles you need for the 50/50 mix. So you’re in about $35.00 with tax. I would estimate that’s enough food to feed 1,000 crickets. Crickets are 13 cents each so that’s $130.00 worth of...

Just regular from Petsmart

Maybe the beetles and larvae are cleaning up the dead!

Nope the water in the gel is their water!

And just so you know, I’ve been feeding crickets because I’m trying to breed my hoppers.

I buy 50 crickets weekly and keep them in a clean black bucket under my grasshopper enclosures with no lid. The bucket is new so the sides are smooth. They can’t climb or jump out. And it’s really dark under there. I just toss them in the bucket and give them food. They have no cardboard...

I think the hoppers are more fun to watch than the chameleons

But I don’t like that they can hold on to things so tightly that it can hurt or even detach a chameleon’s tongue. So I would still snip or crush both ends! Or just use my silks

Oh and please send an updated pic when he’s full dressed in his bright new outfit lol

WOW Nate what amazing husbandry! He looks so beautiful and healthy. I’m so blessed to know you have this sweet baby.

I started adding purple sweet potatoes to the hoppers’ diet and they seem to like them. Also purple cabbage. I’m trying to see what colorful things they will eat, or if they have a preference. So far they haven’t turned anything down. Collards and frisée greens seem to be a favorite but...

I just moved away from hornworms because they’re so wet and gross and poop an insane amount. And they bite and cause injury. Crickets also bite when left to roam free overnight. Silkworms, superworms, calcium worms, and hoppers are my magical combo of feeders. No more bites or odors!

They’re fantastic feeders. But more costly to keep because they do require a screen cage with a heat lamp. And they’re being sold for a dollar a piece but several of us are trying to breed our own

I just don’t think it’s worth it at all. Even if I control their diet and eliminate any toxins they may pass on to my chameleons, they’re still a horrendous feeder in that they hiss, spit black fluid that stains clothing, and they’re just too big to feed. I need to stop typing as I think.

I just confirmed American Bird grasshoppers are in Pennsylvania which is where I live! I can breed those suckers for my own chams. Dean said they’re the most prolific. Now I just need to find their habitat at the right time of the year.

Lubbers are probably just too big to be eaten and they grow so fast. Maybe an adult parsons could eat one
