handling my cham

[Stanly]

Hi, can you explain what i have to do to gutload as i am unsure (i am being a dunce sorry lol) i have been told that it is to cover the feed in calcium powder? an explanation would be aprreciated thanks

The calcium powder is a supplement (you will need 3 types) , gut loading is what you feed TO your bugs.

Here's a link on feeder-nutrition-gutloading and supplements

Andy,

Have you tried him on locusts? these seem to go down a treat with Felix

haha, yeh i try him with those and he doesnt seem to bother, will he eat them if they are dead? there are a couple of crickets hidden they come out now and again but he doesnt bother with them, also the crickets arent making the noise they usually make!

he ate a couple of wax worms before but they are fatty so cant feed them all the time, and he tried to 'nip' me before as the past 2 days he has been out of the tank for exercise, little shit
