eh....ima move this to feeders. Its seems more appropiate. I feed them whatever I'm breeding at the momment which is currently B. dubia.

Crickets. But I've tried spiders, roaches, cicadas, beetles

Lori and I breed five species of roach, three of which are fecund enough to feed with. So whatever tank is closest / has the highest population / appropriately-sized for whatever we're feeding.

thanks for moving guys!! i was wondering if a diet of crickets and locusts is enough then for them to be healthy?

**Mr. Mordax** · Subject: Re: what do you feed?? 3/28/2009, 1:21 pm

Most any feeder is good so long as the feeder is well-fed. The only thing I'd advise against as a sole food source would be mealworms, as they're higher in fat than other feeders.

Locust for me, dont make any noise, easy to look after, the downside is i dont feed as much where they are quite big, and we all know one of the best parts is feeding! lol

I feed mine crickets (the smallest) and the mediums hoppers and the large ones Locusts.
They will all get to try it...unless the very small scorpions I own. So it is a mixed diet, designed on their size

I feed my Scorps crickets and meal worms (once a month). I feed my T's crickets also with an a meal worm same as the Scorps. I gut load them on Rice baby food and fish flakes. I just started using cat and dog food also.
