A new feeder?

[mahoho]

yea there they same crawfish, crayfish, craw daddys, mud bugs are just some that i know and there all the same. they have hundreds of eggs and they live in the ground also by water, you see the mud tubes coming up out of the ground.

superworms and roaches also eat dead decaying gross stuff, in the wild. I should think controling what the crayfish environment and what they eat would have much the same effect as controling how you raise roaches/supers.

If you guys want to try it, get some marmokrebs off of aquabid. They stay a small size, and are parthenogenetic. I used to culture them for feeding to predatory fish and cichlids. They're also much less cannibilistic. They're also called marbled crayfish.

Don't mean to change the subject too much but since we're talking about new feeders, has anyone had any success feeding their cham earthworms?

Steve you have been watching Olaf. I used to buy multiple one hundred pound bags of red swamp crayfish to feed to the Florida Strain Bass in our families ranches twelve acre bass fishing pond. The Florida Largemouth Bass would devour these guys. I used to feed them to my Mbu Puffer as well. I'm not going to use them as feeders for chameleons though.

Now I see why you mentioned these guys to me...

there are several threads about earth worms - do a search to get the full story,
but the gist of it is that chameleons often dont like them, the slimey makes them difficult for cham tongues, and you have to be careful about what is in the guts of the worms. fairly high in calcium though.

Let just say I could do a doritos commercial with the audio. Crunch, crunch.

Yummy! I live near a park with a huge pond full of crayfish...that gives me an idea...
