question for tokay keepers

kirkpatrick Feb 14, 2006 04:00 PM

What does everyone feed they're large tokays. I don't feed crickets at all. I had alot of trouble with sick leos so i just quit buying. lucky my tokay will eat anything. i started feeding him goliath worms but it was a pain to get a good meal for him all the time. and for about five months i have been feeding nothing but fuzzy mice and he is doing great. and he is 100% solid muscle. No fat at all. Just want to know what everyone else feeds they're larger tokays. mine is a little over a year old and 95 grams. does that sound like a good size?

I have six adult tokay -which weigh up to more than 240g- plus a varying number of offspring.
To the adults I mainly feed roaches (4 species) and I regularily add crickets, superworms and -in summer-grasshopper.

P.S.: 95g for a yearling is within the normal range

i agree with ingo. if u dont have access to roaches though, i use adult crickets, but as a main diet i used just plain old, well gut loaded meal worms.
