feeder insects for baby lizards

dre17am Jan 16, 2007 10:19 PM

Recently I realized that I have both a male and female al living together and the female is looking quite fat which could just be fat but you never know... The female is about 2 or 3 now.
So I was reading up for info about eggs adn such, just in case, and I was wondering about what you can feed baby als other then tiny crickets. Has anyone tried feeding fruit flys or flour beetles?

I've been using Roach nymphs and maggots to supplement the crickets

I've just started a dubia culture, I heard they were the best to work with no crawling/flying, long lives, docile, easy to breed blah blah blah.
So far my al hasn't laid any eggs, I hope she's just fat...
