Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
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.

Honestly prepared foods are the worse thing you can give them. I would suggest breeding your own insects, and you can also try frozen/thawed pinkie mice. Raising my own mice and insects have really saved me in the long run since I have so many mouths to feed.

food items
i was kind of hoping not to have to get into raising 3 things just to feed 1, you know what i mean, but ya, i can see what you are saying. I will try the frozen pinky mice thing too... any concerns about calcium supplementation w/immature mice?

Raising most roach species is pretty easy and is a handy supply of insects.
I feed my ackies roaches and thawed pink mice, but they also like sliced beef heart, raw shrimp, and cut up raw fish.
Beef heart and raw catfish nuggets are cheap in the store. Frozen shrimp are sort of expensive, but when you consider two jumbo shrimp is more than one ackie needs at a feeding, it's not that bad. It also has the added bonus of having shrimp on hand for me to grill for supper.

thanks for the tips. I tried both heart and fish and he turns his nose up at it. he's very picky. I thought superworms would be a hit since they are bugs but he wont eat those either. so far just roaches and crickets.

Myself, I'd try letting him go a few days without food and see if it sparked his interest in other things.
I'm no ackie guru by any means, but I've kept them for over 10 years, just not that many different individuals. It still seems odd to me that one would be fixated on insects like that to the exclusion of other things. Every one I've had was quite liberal in what he or she ate.

ya, that's what I've heard t00 - some reads make them sound like vacuum cleaners - eat everything in sight, but not this one. maybe you are right - i've always fed him up w as much as he can eat since he's growing. i'll cut back a bit and see if he takes a fish.
thanks!
