Peyton,

So good to hear that Jasper is doing well and back to being a cricket eating machine!
Great that you also found a local herp vet! Hope you never have to make a call to them again, but always good to have in case.

bravo!!

Have you had them hatch yet? Are u heating them for a quick incubation, or just room temp? Anyways, good job. I've found that mine like bannana baby cereal. I had some left from my son, and thaught i'd try it out. It has everything except vitamin A & C. That with the catfood and seaweed, and some apple peel once a week, I got some giants!! They're one shed away from breeding, so i've almost gone full circle. I've been feeding them to my frogs for 2 weeks now and still have swarms!! How great is that!!

Also, my cricket qwencher dries up within a day, so every morning I just spray it to rehydrate it. I only throw it out after some have died or pooped in it. I use milk tops and soda tops for feeding dishes.

Just sharing what I do!!! What's your technique?
