[…]“fuzzy” or larger mice to Leopard Geckos, as the fur may cause intestinal impactions. Canned Insects Leopard Geckos usually take readily to tong-feeding. Canned Grasshoppers and Silkworms offer a convenient means of adding variety to your lizard’s diet. Wild Caught Insects As my regular readers are, no doubt, […]

[…]natural diet. Wild individuals seem to feed primarily upon grasshoppers, roaches and other large insects, frogs, crabs, and snails. Scorpions, termites, birds and their eggs, and fish have also been recorded as being consumed. A rodent-only diet will not work well for Rough Necked Monitors. Youngsters should be fed […]
[…]Napper is a valuable insect-collecting tool. In order to increase dietary variety, try offering canned silkworms via feeding tongs. A mixture of papaya/apricot baby food, honey, liquid reptile vitamins, and water should be offered weekly. Food offered to adult anoles should be sprinkled with a vitamin/mineral supplement 2-5 times per […]
[…](Collembolla sp.) Springtails are minute (as in smaller than fruit flies), primitive insects that can be collected from beneath leaf litter or purchased. They feed upon decaying vegetables and fish flakes, and breed readily. Wild-Caught Invertebrates Wild-caught invertebrates can impart important variety to captive diets. Learn to identify stinging and […]
[…]roaches, crickets, butterworms, super mealworms, waxworms, cultured houseflies, and silkworms. Canned invertebrates may be accepted from feeding tongs. Tokay Geckos can be offered a pink mouse every 7-10 days. Do not use adult mice, as the fur may lead to impactions. Although they will pounce on whatever small creature comes […]

[…]Costa Rica, I observed Marine Toads that had learned to gather under a light and wait for stunned insects…most nights, they began congregating before the light went on. I’ve seen wild wild electric eels demonstrate their intelligence, and one recent study revealed that insects of the same species exhibit surprising […]
[…]be provided a nutritious diet; please see these articles on cricket and earthworm care). Canned grasshoppers, snails, and silkworms offer an easy means of increasing dietary variety. Never offer food with your fingers! Use plastic feeding tongs – frogs are “unable to control themselves” when hungry, and often suffer wounds […]
[…]swimmers, Big Heads do best when kept in shallow water. I always offer crayfishes, fresh and canned snails and crabs, but others have had success with standard carnivorous turtle diets. They become uncomfortable when water temperatures rise above the mid-seventies, and fare best at 68-72 F. I heat a semi-submerged […]
[…]diet as they mature. When purchased as hatchlings, many such turtles become accustomed to eating insects, fish, earthworms and high protein turtle chows, and steadfastly refuse to accept Vitamin A-rich greens as they reach adulthood. Efforts must be made to introduce these healthy foods early, and reluctant adults must be […]
[…]as the breeding season arrives. Please see these articles for further information on collecting insects. Incubating the Eggs Eggs may be incubated in vermiculite or moist sphagnum moss. I prefer to use a vermiculite and water in a 1:1 ratio by weight (please see this article for details on setting […]
[…]pitfall traps, termite traps, leaf litter collection and sweeping through tall grass with a net. Canned Insects For those individuals that will feed from tongs or accept non-living foods, canned invertebrates, such as grasshoppers, snails and silkworms, provide a convenient means of varying the diet. Commercially-Available Invertebrates When wild-caught insects […]
[…]articles linked below. Today I’ll discuss earwigs – common, hardy, and largely-ignored insects that have great potential as pet food. They are also extremely interesting in their own right, with females caring for their eggs and actually carrying food to the young! Why Earwigs? Earwigs are readily accepted by a […]
[…]for a time. In the wild, youngsters feed primarily upon frogs, small lizards and, perhaps, large insects. Scenting a pinky with these foods will encourage reluctant feeders. Companions Many Milksnake subspecies favor other snakes as food, and are notorious cannibals. Hatchlings are especially difficult to rear in groups, but adults […]
[…]need comparatively more protein than do adults. A wide variety of insects should be offered…canned insects mixed into a dish with pellets may encourage them to try the new food. Adults include a good deal of plant material in their diet, and seem to take readily to the fruity taste […]
[…]alone. Feeding Centipedes will thrive on a diet of crickets, roaches and earthworms. Wild-caught insects may be offered to help balance the diet. They will also accept canned grasshoppers and snails via tongs, but be extremely careful when feeding in this manner. Mice are not required, even for the largest […]
[…]available commercially. Ants: experimenting required, as some species are rejected. Aphids: tiny insects that colonize plant stems. “Field Plankton”: insects gathered by sweeping through tall grass with a net. Mantellas have large appetites and should be fed every day or two. One Brown Mantella was observed to eat 53 ants […]
[…]and a variety of other invertebrates should be offered. Please see these articles on collecting insects for more ideas. When wild-caught insects are not available, the diet should be comprised of commercially-available roaches, crickets, locusts, butterworms, super mealworms, house flies, waxworms, calciworms, silkworms and hornworms. Feeder insects should be provided […]
[…]quarters. Their hunting strategy – leaping to the ground from arboreal perches to chase insects – makes cage height an especially important consideration. An adult requires an enclosure measuring at least 3’ x 3’ x 4’ high. Otherwise, most of the Frilled Dragon’s needs can be easily met, and they […]
