I also include in their diet freeze dried fobloodworm and the periodic frog / turtle pellet. They have been very active and healthy for over a year so something is working.
Thanks for the kind words...I use a variety of fish foods for feeder insects as well..crickets, roaches, earthworms all relish many types. Interesting that you are using tiny mealworms...most folks do not go through he trouble of rearing them, so as to have newly shed, soft grubs available. I've had some success in breeding, but not consistently; planning an article soon. Please keep me posted on your group, thanks and enjoy, Frank
