Well I have been feeding them with your standard dusted crickets and I have tried mealworms. They don't touch the mealworms at all, so what else can I feed these two??

Some of mine like waxworms, but to make them more appealing to those who have not been initiated into slow-moving bug fare, I gently tumble them around the cage with the tip of my finger, right in front of the collareds. They'll usually eat them when they "move" like that.

Also, see if you can catch some flying bugs like moths--or even cockroaches. They love things that are quick.

Hello,
I use to feed my male almost any bugs. He seemed to enjoy centipedes and jerusilum crickets(potato bugs), and others like beetles, moths, and grasshoppers. Just about anything will do.

Ok thanks guys for the info, any concerns of what wild insects might have on them like pesticides??

I always try and catch stuff in my yard which I know does not have any poisons, but the thing is you do always have to wonder, where they may have been. Alot of my neighbors DO use lawn stuff

Guess its a chance we all take when using wc buggies. I catch some moths at night sometimes, they really stimulate picky eaters !

Just be careful and selective on where you choose to collect them I suppose.

Also incase you never heard lightning bugs as TOXIC to most lizards!
