Can you feed a GSP ...............
an earthworm ?
a centipede ?
a potato bug ?
a lady bug ?
a cricket ?
obviously not as a staple, but I'm just wondering of these bugs which are safe to feed on rare occasion?
At first when I got Chomper he wouldn't eat at all - until I gave him an earthworm. He LOVED it ! In the beginning I also gave him a centipede and a potato bug, he seemed to like them... but I'm not sure if they "okay" or not ?
I've heard that crickets are okay, but not very nutritious. What about lady bugs?
Any info here greatly appreciated, thanks !

Any bugs I find around the house goes into my tanks.

Yes, Hubby has many unknown talents...
Why do you think we've been together 22 years?!

Re: Bugs
Lol, I can see this thread going down a 'not-suitable-for-the-office' route :p
I'm thinking I should get my congo sooner than planned, just to have something to do with all the flies I'm swatting at the moment. Seriously, I feel like I'm living in Ethiopia - just without the hot weather. My carnivorous plants are too stuffed, I need puffers!
