Repto,



I've had mixed results on wax worms. They hit 'em hard every time I've offered them. But I've noticed that if I provide more then one or two at a feeding, or feed the worms more frequent then every 3rd or 4th day, regurgitation is sure to follow. Have you had any experiences like that? I've stopped feeding them the worms, too worried about the affect.



As for moths, I have fed mine Wax Worm moths...they really go for them! But I haven't fed enough of these moths to see if regurgitation is an issue. Just the same, it's an interesting idea. It's relatively easy to get a container full of wax worm moths. Will give it more thought. Might be a really nice way to provide a little variety to the staple diet.



Also interesting note on the earwigs. I hadn't noticed the earlier posts regarding them, must have gotten by me un-noticed. We have earwigs up to our ears at our house. I think there's enough here to provide a steady diet for at least one animal, maybe or two. Never even thought to try it. Hmmm...I guess I have to assume they enter their outdoor enclosure, so maybe I'm already feeding mine earwigs and don't even know it. Have you found anything regarding the long term effects of earwigs in their diet?



Thanks,

Roger
