You can´t change the protein content of yolk or the size of the yolk sac by just playing around with the food for the mother.
But why are you saying this?
Of course you can control yolk size by diet, its easy less fat more minerals. You try it first, then we talk. Why do you think your females gono gave you 3-5 eggs and mine 7-9 eggs?
I don’t need to read your paper about crickets, they are proven as a reliable source by the best breeders in the world, why on earth who’d I read something written by someone I know nothing about? Plus in the wrong living conditions the best diets don’t work, a performance diet can only support a performing host.
Iv seen the difference with my lizards, on a mixed diet of worms they are sluggish don’t move a lot have little appetite and appear bloated, on crickets alone they are alert energetic eat with appetite and make consistent stools, sorry but theirs no turning back on the diet for me now. Again I say try it then we talk.
Look at this, a 35 day capra and an 80 days gono, they are developing normally but abnormally slow, now I know they can be hatched much faster. The next clutch will be hatched by 80 days.
you don’t seem to realise that what I am doing here iv don before, how can you understand my views when you cant understand your faults of husbandry.
Have it ever crossed your mind that gono eggs might need a flood to trigger hatching? I am sure you must understand how the stress of oxygen depravation cause the embryo to hatch when at full term, without such trigger they don’t and toxicological syndrome set inn. I am a douer not just a talker, when we exchange I expect hands on experience not theories written by Joe jack the third. This stuff I don’t need, I am only interested by your personal experience the good but mostly the bad, on this I can rely and learn. I have 1000s of papers written by the worlds top herpetologists in my closet, most iv never read.
