Questions
Would this supplement be adequate for mealworms to feed to a hedgehog?
- It's a great gutload for all feeders IMO.

Hello! Is it a MUST to gut load my mealworms? ALso, do I HAVE to dust them in calsium if I'm providing the calcium in the crested gecko diet? One last thing: are mealworms or crickets better for my crestie? Thanks so much for all your help!
Is it unhealthy to feed my leopard gecko any form of dried pellets or dried insects? A cricket is 70% moisture so what would happen to the nutrition in its guts when it dries?
Hello. I canāt get my baby crested gecko to even be interested in taking a cricket. Crickets are the right size the breeder feed and also the breeder said that this gecko was eating crickets and would hunt them. I feed Repashy. Does that supplement crickets too? My first crested gecko Oakley, did this also. But after about 3-4 weeks of trying Oakley did eat crickets. Any suggestions on how to get my new crested gecko, aspen, to eat crickets? He is really good eater with his Repashy. (three legs)
Is it okay for leopard geckos to eat black soldier larve or dubia roaches as their staple diets?
I have a 7 mo bearded dragon, 18", male. He won't eat any bugs except wax worms now. No crickets, so went to dubias and phoenix worms. Nope, not anymore. Mealworms make him sick. Healthy, eats salad fine, poops daily, drinks water daily. Worried about proper nutrition. Was told Dec hatch date but wonder if older than told. 40 gallon tank, uv zoo med 5.0 long, heat 150 watt bulb, repti carpet, temps 90s hot and 80s cool sides.
I foster an American Chinchilla rabbit for a local rescue. He has one ear and is about 7lbs, but is pure skin and bones. I got him 2 weeks ago, and since then the rescue and I have been working on helping him gain weight. He's been on alfalfa pellets and Timothy hay. I've added rolled oats for his fur and nails too. He gets 3-4 cups of vegetables a night. About 5-6 different types of rabbit-sage vegetables. None are high in sugar except for an occasional carrot to help his weight. He hasn't gain
Is this a good supplement to fees my cats daily. NaturVet Digestive Enzymes Plus Probiotic for Cats, 60 ct Soft Chews , Made in USA Is it grain free? They both eat orijen but one cat throws up undigested food sometimes.
I have always given my turtle ReptoMin for the past 14 years. Are there any other foods or treats i can feed her?
I adopted a sick Leopard Gecko from a local pet store. The pet store doesn't take good care of Leopard Geckos. They have dried Mealworms, no calcium, no humidity, and their all crowed in one hide. My Leopard Gecko Geo wasn't eating Mealworms or Crickets. She is underweight and her tail is skinny. I started to get concerned so I started syringe feeding her daily with ReptaBoost. Today I saw her throw up some of the mix. It looks like she was struggling to regurgitate. Also the humidity is high.
Hello, I was wondering what would be the best food for pet mice when they are fat. His current food is: Daily blend wild harvest, his previous food was: vita prima rat mouse and gerbil formula.
My bird has switched to Lafeberās Daily Diet pellet food. She gained too much weight with the other food she was on. I noticed she is eating it, but itās turning into something similar to sawdust. She does seem to eat the dust though. I donāt know to give her more or not. Iām giving her 30cc of it a day. I donāt want her to get malnutritioned, but I donāt want her to gain weight. She needs to lose weight. What should I do? Should I have her eat the dust thatās left, or give her more pellets?
I have a leopard gecko who is 8 weeks old and is not eating much. And when she does eat food she regurgitates it or the worms come out whole in her feces. The temperature and set up is correct. I have gut loaded the insects but she just does not want them
