How many fruit flies would a 5" female anole have to eat to be well nourished? Our male eats anything, crickets, waxworms, fruit flies, but the female only seems to like the flies. I've seen her kill a cricket or two but she doesn't eat them. I've never seen her grap a worm either. I'm asuming that eating the flies is better than eating nothing, but she is very thin. I will be ordering a waxworm culture with moths, hopefully she'll like those, and I'll be trying to track down some silkworms too. How long can she survive on these little flies?
