How old is Inky? Mediums will probably be fine - and yes they are a great staple feeder for Inky- feed her as many as she can eat - if she starts to gobble them down really fast dont feed as many at a time - when they do this the larvae will come out undigested - use them as salad lures - add them to the tops of her salads like 20 at a time they are small so I would add another staple feeder crickets or dubia roaches - shes going to go thru alot of the BSFL / nutrigrubs - the roaches / crickets will fill her up and you need to dust one of those insects w/ your calcium D3 - here is a good bowl to use for her and the BSFL https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
you only need to dust your insects at one feeding lightly coated 5 x per week and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week once per feeding lightly coated

Ok I understand+ you can use your dubias to lure her to the bowl - but she should be getting her calcium d 3 5 x per week lightly coated one time per feeding- are you using a long tube uvb?

Are you using the fixture that says nanotech on the outside of the reflector? If so, that's a pretty good fixture. You may not need to change anything if you have a good UVB bulb for the fixture. Is this the case? Or am I misunderstanding what you're using? If you can post a photo of your setup, it might be helpful.

I think it's good, because Inky could eat a wide range of live food such as crickets, mealworms and kingworms; vegetables such as sweet potato and pepper and leafy greens such as kale and parsley. Well, I know also information, they can also eat limited amounts of fruit.

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
