I know the basic setup but what do they eat and how much i was reading some caresheets and they all say something different (1st said feed them mainly greens,fruits, and veggies with insects and also mentioned they dont like crickets, but the 2nd said insects only so which is it?) Thanks in advance! Dave

Nice little trib you got there Dave, did you say it was a boy? COOL In my experiences with tribs, there favourite foods consist of any larvae’s or and grubs, basically anything that’s wiggly. Also Tribs DO eat crickets and Small Locust but because of their quiet nature you rarely see them eat any of the above.
Veg and fruit wise my tribs do get a small potion once or twice a week in their feeding bowl, again I have not witnessed the tribs eat the Veg but as there worms are placed in the same bowl in has its advantages.
Thanks for lookin’
Deano

Well i have a girl, i dont have a uvb light,i dont need one because i live in a very hot/sunny country so i put her in the sun almost everyday for at least half an hour.In my opinion they do need sunlight. The only thing that she eats is mealworms and mealworms beetles.But i have not tried earthworms yet.Im afraid earthworms will be too big for her.She loves water and as her tank is dry she spends 80% of her time in her huge water bowl!
