What are some good foods to gutload mealworms with? I have some fish flake food- will that work? Thanks.

If you use a supplement like the t-rex leopard gecko dust, you don't need to fuss tomuch over gutloading. I use mixed flaked babyfood with some quaker oats. I provid moisture with some carrots of yams. If you don't use the supp. I mentioned, you should use a more thought out gutload. Do a search on this forum and you will find alot of good ones.

I use oat or wheat bran with calcium and vitamin added. If you wanted mealworms big and meaty i suppose you could use some freeze dried bloodworms, tubifex, daphnia,etc. freeze dried bloodworms are like a min. of 46% protein and 10% fat!

I have T-rex cricket feed and fluckers cricket feed for my mealworms but I feel the T-rex one is better.

Advice to save you some money. Go with chicken layer mash. Costs me $2.33 per 10lb bag. That is the exact same stuff that is in the Fluker's cricket food. I believe the Flukers is $3.49 for 12 ounces. At that rate 10lbs would cost about $46.53. You know which one I will continue to chose.

Just a thought.

i use fluker's high calcium cricket meal and use orange slices as their water source.. provides extra vit. C I also dust the crix with rep-cal w/d3 and herptivite.
