Baby Food?

mountain_goat Jan 16, 2005 11:32 AM

Has anyone ever had experience offering their satanics a baby food mixture? I recently acquired a new female who has not yet seemed intersted in crickets, so last night I decided to offer her a bit of the blended fruit/chicken babyfood/calcium supplement which my crested love. She slurped up a bit and seemed to like it. If she takes a liking to this, how do you think it would compare to a cricket diet?

i've fed it to my mossies and lineds just for a bit of variety in their diet ( since usually their diet is almost exclusively crickets)
never tried just leaving a dish in there, i just set a syringe with it on their nose and they drink quite a bit of it.
i would definately still feed crickets and try to get as much of a variety as possible.

thats weird, every single time i tried to offer my satanics baby food, they made sure eto show me that they didnt like it by waving their heads around and wiping it off their snouts.

yeah, when i tried it when i had satanics they wouldn't touch it. sikorae and lineatus have lapped up quite a bit though.
