I've been getting a lot of questions as of late concerning Dubia diet. I wanted to start a more recent informative thread that people can check in on and see what people are feeding their feeders. So please, if you read this let us know what you are using as feeders and what you are gutloading them w/ as I think this thread can be a good resource for many of our fellow BD.org members.
The 2nd part of this post is to remind people that you ARE NOT gutloading your feeder insects for THEIR health rather you are feeding them foods, minerals, and nutrients that you want to get into your ANIMAL for it's health. This aspect of raising feeders seems to get many people a little confused. Speaking on behalf of roaches they will eat ANYTHING that you can think of. Yes they tend to like sweeter foods but they will eat whatever you offer them. Remember that every animal has different dietary needs and therefore their feeder insects should be gutloaded to meet those requirements.
