fire belly food suggestions

In my dealing with large commercial insect dealers they usually push the messy powders and dust. I prefer to push feeding your insects a highly nutritious food so that they are always Gutloaded as the above poster notes. The pet-stores that push messy powders and such are not selling you healthy bugs.

I understand that we have probably given the poster all the help they will ever need but i still wanted to reply to this comment. Ash you are totally right. I too sell to and network with many of the top insect breeders and they as well as myself will agree to this post. When i first started out i spoke to an employee of petco i asked what kind of veggies could i feed my insects that would contain High calcium. And they responded with "there are no veggies that contain calcium." They continued to push a some what expensive calcium dust on me in which i ended up buying. Well either this person had no clue as to what they where talking about or they lied to me and just wanting to sell me the product. I am not saying that some products out there are not beneficial to your frogs and toads because they are. But you can find greater nutrition sources in veggies. Right now i am feeding my 3 roaches species (in which i have mass quantities of) Pumpkin. Pumpkin is one of the top 10 super foods and is extremely cheap at this time of year. Blend it with Kale, Romain lettuce, cheerio's, carrots and quinoa and will be giving you frogs an unrivaled gut-loaded insect. And per quantity it is 100 times less then most dust products out there. Not to mention your insects will fare much better during breeding with this sort of diet.
