Just tried all my rhacos on 'red runners', they seem to love them, far more nutrition and body mass than crickets, so I may change over totally.

Anyone tried mealworms?

Dont the red runners get everywhere in where you keep the rhac's? From my experience with them they go everywhere they can.

As for meal worms, i have tried cresteds and gargoyles on them, my crested seemed to eat a few the gargoyles didn't really eat many at all.

Thats why i have never used them because i know they will get out of my mesh enclosures in the gap between the door and the frame. I bet they are a great feeding source though.

I like feeding my rhaco's moths, they chase them round like nutters. My monitors used to just jump straight into the air and pluck them out of the sky.

I've been considering phoenix worms. Has anyone tried those with cresties?

Scott - I gave Eric some crickets last weekend.... oh my word!! He's a new man! He has so much fun chasing them around that I've seen a totally new side to his personality. Worth putting up with the wretched things just for that!

lol....yep they fly around the cage chasing crickets, great fun!

Not tried phoenix worms as food for anything yet, did try to culture them but didn't have enough space for the adult flys.

My crestie really seems to like mealworms, he also loves silkworms on the occasions I have them in.

my cresties wont eat anything but livefood anymore! the only time they will eat fruit is if i actually try them with it when they are out. but they eat all kinds of livefood, they wont turn anything down if it moves!
