Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
My leo was very finicky. She got as skinny as a pencil. Eating a cricket every two days or so, if that. Then I got her a larger cricket and for the first time, she wiggled her tail in front of me. She seemed to pick up. I got her butterworms and silkworms and now she eats daily. She does not care for mealworms though.
So, you can try increasing the size of your feeders and it may help and you can try the expensive stuff, all for the sake of your little sweethearts
Yes it is amazing the feeding response when you vary a Leos diet in type or size. Though I have found that using proper size crickets or roaches or worms works as well.
Oh yeah, roaches will get the job done. I had a real picky eater and I gave her some roaches and she was on them faster than fly’s on poo. Now she’ll eat mealworms.
I can best tolerate the occasional cricket around the house that will most surely end up starving himself with time. The thought of roaches escaping is a little freaky. Those things are survival heroes. Are these wingless?
I’ve had one orange head roach escapee that I know of. I found it in the bathroom. I don’t really worry about them getting out where I live because as soon as winter comes it will be hard for them to survive. Most of the commonly kept species have wings but they are unable to fly.
The most common kept species for food are:
orange heads (Eublaberus prosticus)
orange spotted (Blaptica dubia)
discoid (Blaberus discoidales)
death head (Blaberus craniifer)
six spot (Eublaberus distanti)
lobster (Nauphoeta cinerea).
There are also hissers but I wouldn’t feed them. There are also a few others that are kept as food but they’re less “common”. I don’t really know the nutritional content of a roach compared to a cricket or mealworm. I do know that the roaches have a higher meat content witch is more protein.
