Where do I find things like bee pollen, spirulina, and monkey chow??? What kind of petstore sells food for monkeys??? Currently my gutload consists of baby rice cereal, baby barley cereal, miner-all, wheat germ, and dry milk.

Bee Pollen and Spirulina can usually be found at health food, or natural food stores. I have seen monkey chow at a couple of smaller pet stores in my area so I would just pick up the yellow pages and start calling around.

Cleo,
Things like Bee Pollen and Spirulina can be quite expensive. You can find them at alot of health food stores. But before you do that, I have included an interesting link. It was posted in the Rhac forum by Allen Repashy of sandfire dragon ranch. He is the one who developed and formulated the whole line a Sandfire superfoods distubuted by T-Rex. The are really great product. I would suggest sticking with a basic gutload, and dust with good supps. The leopard gecko dust developed by Allen has all the vitamins and mineral and was formulated to be used daily with out fear of overuse. It also has a good amount of protien in it, AND bee pollen and spirulina.
good luck
Interesting post about gutloading and dusting
