I have been gutloading the Dubias with oranges, apples and collard greens. The crickets I have been giving collard greens, carrot, and some Fluker's Orange Cube (complete cricket diet). The hornworms are just getting whatever that stuff is in the cup with them and I'm not gut loading the...
I did re-pot with organic soil before I put the plants in. I'm a little less worried about that since I listened to Strand's pod cast interview with John Courteney-Smith. If I understood him right... it is fairly common and as long as the soil is organic there should not be a problem with...

You should consider smaller superworms instead of the mealworms. They are an overall healthier option. I was feeding mealworms before I was made aware that they were not a good option and my cham would always gobble them up first...like eating the French fries before the main cricket course...

Some claim that the dirt can cause impaction but others think that it is a natural reaction to something missing in their diet and that it is no big deal. I was worried about our Cham eating dirt so I covered the dirt in his potted plants with small rocks. Whichever way you decide to go, make...
Take the heater out. He doesn't need it, his cage is plenty warm for night temps. They can go as low as 50-55 degrees.
I used to run a night time heater and our Cham is doing a lot better since I took it out. His appetite has increased and he just looks healthier.
