Dusts/Gutload

jacksonsrule Mar 15, 2004 11:53 AM

How do these dusts compare (which one is most recommended)?

Miner-All
RepCal's Herptivite
Walkabout Farm (Susan Donoghue's) Quantam Series

I am leaning towards Walkabout Farm's Quantam Series.
They claim nothing else (no calcium) is needed if dust is used
at every feeding. I'm not sure how this relates to gutloading.

Also, what can anyone say about this gutload:

I like Sue Donaghue's (Quantum) stuff but she says you can dust daily. I find that it causes problems if I dust more than once every two weeks. It's good stuff but a little goes a looooooong way.As for gutloads, I highly recommend the one sold at Sue's site. If you're going to go commercial, I consider it the gold standard.

Great. I think I'll grab some Montane Radiance and the gutload. The herpnutrion site sure seems to be the most informative and thorough.
