Thanks. Kinda hijacked the thread. Found a post w/ NHenn describing diff. between Bugburger and Superload. Bugburger for everyday and Superload for 24 hrs. prior to feeding. I'll get them both and see what happens.
ratio of many common feeder insects and posts the lab name and results of his testing. Other studies have confirmed the caroteniod content of feeder insects is low compared to wild insects. The superload formula includes a wide variety of natural caroteniod sources in it so you're going to get your feeders closer to the caronteniod contents of wild feeders which presumably will increase their health (and if nothing else will make sure they living up to their full color potential). Having said that I do not use bug burger because I have thousands of mealworms, superworms, roaches, and order crickets and it would simply be too expensive and I've had good luck with vegetables and non-medicated chick feed for a maintenance feeder diet which also gutloads the insects too. I don't see superload as a replacement for anything but just another tool for gutloading insects, between the superload, non-medicated chick feed, vegetables, ground grains, and fruits, there is a lot of different sources of nutrients going into the feeders and ultimately into the reptiles themselves.
My chameleons are #1! Variety = health and longevity!
. When I've offered bug burger and it at the same time they passed the bug burger over and head to Matt's.
