[QUOTE="ChileanTaco, post: 2045432, member: 118921"] I give my dragon dubias, mealworms, superworms. I avoid crickets. I also feed small (!) hissing cockroaches - the size of a small to large dubia, never larger. (They can get super large, almost like a mouse... Would never feed them at that size.) Many of the other insects listed above are not available here in Chile as keeping reptiles is quite unusual here. Especially, I cannot get BSFL/ Phoenix worms, silkworms, hornworms, locusts and also no similar species. There is "just no market for it". They seem to sell only what can be fed to a variety of species, like mealworms and superworms also be fed to poultry. I have also seen that: I give him food A - no interest in it, I give him B - eats it with great appetite. But it's not always in the same direction: It's not that he likes roaches less - I've seen him often preferring roaches over worms (mealworms, superworms). Another day it might be different. I always "gut load" the feeder insects. I keep them on oatmeal and bran, add vegetables (raw kitchen scraps, such as the peel and end of carrots, the hard part of a broccoli stem, piece of bell pepper, kale stems... whatever). Then they go into another box where there are only veggies. The bowl in which I put the insects in to feed them my dragon also always has a piece of vegetable in it. And of course, to not forget that, I use the calcium powder. (Result: My dragon is reasonable large, but not fat, and is healthy, including no poop problems. I would like to offer more variety if it would exist, but I think he's doing fine with what I can get.) [/QUOTE]
