[chrisandpugs]

Hi!
There are so many gut-load cricket food out on the market and on-line to buy. Need your recommendation as to a specific brand that has worked for you and would happily recommend to anybody else!

Thanks,
Christine

I would not recommend fish, dog, or cat food.

Basically, crickets will need dry food and a source of moisture. The goal is to load nutrients into both of these so that our chameleons will get the nutrients they require. Doing this properly is crucial for long term success.

Here are two additional links I highly recommend:

• James / Wells / Lopéz Gutload (AdCham)
• Gutloading Basics by Jason Descamps (Chameleon News)

To add to Brad's post, there are a couple places that have very high quality gutloads available for sale.

www.wildeyereptiles.com (if they don't have any listed, email them and ask...)

www.cricketfood.com
