List of fruits and veggie gutloading please

[jade4321]

Hi, its Jade again!
Can any of you peeps out on the world wide spider web give me a list of fruits and veggies I can gutload my crickets with? I'm using baby spinage and a bird mash ( lots of protein and other stuff good for chams ) at the moment.
Any suggestions?

This blog has helped me a lot.

I wouldn't suggest using spinach, it can cause the chameleon to have difficulty processing calcium.

Or you can read it here from when I gave it to you before: https://www.chameleonforums.com/my-pictures-jade-63390/index7.html#post592783

It's great that she's taking her meds! Good luck.

Not the bird mash either, you don't want an imbalance of proteins. Too much protein isn't good

I wondered about that. Can't high levels of protein contribute to gout?

Agreed - not too much protein or fat from Animal sources

This is what is in my most recent wet gutload that I made up using sandrachameleon's blog. Would love to know what you think Sandra. I bought all organic fresh locally grown as much as possible and then blended it in a food processor and froze it into cubes (actually Ikea shapes) and once frozen I put it in vacuum bags to keep fresh. I will tell you the crickets come flocking to it but what really surprised me was that no matter how much I place in my dubia colony it's gone....not just mostly gone, but all signs that it was ever there gone

Butternut squash (steamed)
Yellow squash
carrots
Apple
Mango
Mustard greens
Dandelion greens
Kale
Sweet red pepper

Next time I might put in some Repashy Vit A, and Calcium powder.

Next up is my dry gutload!!

Thanks for all of your wonderful info Sandra I have been learning a lot from your blog!!
