I am first a fan of whole prey items, whethers its birds, fish, rodents, insects, etc. Whole, not part, like turkey or any meat.



I like you, breed mice, and at times crickets. I have lots of experience with those two items and very successfully, So thats what I state. I would not be right if I assumed other items worked well, If I did not use them. So again mice is what I have experience with.



Many years ago, I used all manner of foot items, including turkey, What has consistantly worked the best is what I mentioned.



Its kinda like this, I used lots of different items, I would take one out and see what happens. The ones that mattered were, mice(rodents) and crickets. Take them away and progress dropped.



What seems to really make a difference is, amount and how dependable the source is. that is with whole prey items.



Such things as superworms and roaches, became just a pain in the butt for the keeper. And did not show any actual advantage.



As in, they were not bad, just not good or handy.
