After waiting (somewhat) patiently for the little guy to grow, I finally have my little T.Q. Gracilior! He flew in and I drove to pick him up Wednesday. That was the best of the only two days I had available this month to pick him up, and it happened to be my birthday, so happy birthday to me...
I've been giving my crickets Cricket Crack Montane to get them ready for my gracilior - the crickets absolutely love it! My question is, is that formula completely comprehensive as a gutload for the gracilior or will I need to make another Gutload to mix it up and fill out the nutrient panel...
