What do you gutload your crix with??

[ChromaChameleons]

Like the title says ... I'm curious what members are using for gutload?

I use oats, ground sunflower seeds, spirulina powder, lettuce, apple, raw potato, raw carrots.....

 

[jannb]

I use collard greens, kale, butternut squash, carrot, apple, sweet potato, orange, celery leaves and dry gutload.

For crickets, I use a fair bit of dandelion leaves, mustard greens, romaine, carrot, apple, orange, squash, yam and sweet potatoe, bee pollen, spirulina, dried seaweed, dried alfalfa, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seed, ... other stuff

I gutload the roaches and other bugs differently.

I use cricket crack with an occasional orange and potato. C.C. is just loaded with good stuff.

Carrots, yams, dandelion, and whatever fruit Ive got kicking around. Sometimes buy a dry gutload from the person I bought the chameleon from.

would "Powered" roasted peanuts (like in the shell) (unsalted) be ok as a gutload? shells and all?

 

[coolmoon]

I use the salad mix for my iguanas. It has mustard and collard greens, peas, squash, bell pepper and other various veges. I also use dry cricket mix from flukers. Occasionally I will use small amounts of fruit.

I would think no on the peanut.

I agree.. I looked up the nutr data, its almonds that have high calc (I got confused)

edit: lol.. just found this maybe we should just gutload with "Total"

 

[pudge]

when you gut load so you chop or mush this stuff up?

 

[pudge]

edit. do you chop or mush this stuff up?

 

[panthercham]

i just chop

I use carrots, yams, potato, orange, apples, kale, spirulina, bee pollen, hemp seeds, kelp, collard greens, romaine and dandelion. I have started trialling goji berries in very small amounts as its a super antioxidant for humans so I am interested in what it does for chams

I used to use Total as a part (not a big part) of my dry gutload. Can't find it anymore. Do they still make it?

 

[sandrachameleon]

I chop a carrot or a potatoe into chunks, since I dont need all that much at once. But mostly I dont chop or mush fresh stuff up.

I'm not the grocery go getter but my wife’s 75% sure she’s seen it in the stores here in FL

I have been attempting to make my own dry load... dehydrated carrots, fruit, taters, oats, greens. I haven’t fed any of it to my feeders yet, they might drop dead, lol.. I powder all my ingredients with the wife’s coffee grinder

Anyone use cat food? I thought I seen that somewheres
