Thanks Bonnie the link worked but I wasn’t able to see the videos, but I think they are quit similar, mine are much faster then mealworms and dragons love them more then any other food.
I breed them in with the mealworms in the same bins, 2 species competing produce more. I prefer carrots over potatoes and feed my regular dog food and chicken mash, I spray water on them every day. I agree with the publicity that babies will grow faster on them.
They sure help me with mine, and will not do without them.

Last night I talked hours with my indo friend about natural foods acanthosaura might be feeding on, clearly there are more then 50 types of leaf like katydids and grass hoppers in numbers, these could represent a large part of acanthosaura’s diet.

There are 100s of beetles that lay there larva’s in the leaf litter, these can also be an easy meal for dragons, he suggested that leaches might be more abundant then earth worms, spiders and millipedes are numerous and could be part of acanthosaura diet.

Tree frogs lay motionless and can only be an occasional meal, tadpoles on the other hand are often laid in puddles and move a lot, they make an easy meal for dragons.

All in all theirs plenty of insect for dragons to feed and never get bored, however most of these are nocturnal insects, can it be that our favourite dragons also feed at night?

Don’t know but I will set up a moon light ambience and see if the do.
