By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Zoo Med Can O Pillars 1.2oz (Misc.) My leopard geckos love to eat these Caterpillars! Just use tweezers/tongs to move them around to catch their attention. Of course they wont eat them if you just drop them in the tank! Make sure you can feed the whole can within 2 weeks or they will get moldy. By Lis (Clayton, NC USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Zoo Med Can O Pillars 1.2oz (Misc.) Well I don't know if they work for every box turtle but as soon as I put one in front of him my little guy was chowing down so I consider them a winner. Saves me having to go out to the backyard trying to dig some up.
The cans are very small, but when your box turtle only gets fed every second day and gets fed all sorts of things when you think about it the can will last a good while if kept in the fridge. I also like that it came with a little spoon to scoop them out. The cons: Well for the size the cans are expensive but I found a discount website that sells them cheap. Just shop around and you'll find them if you look on google shopping. Also they are very smelly but hey, they're dead caterpillars so I guess that was going to be part of the deal. Just make sure you keep them refrigerated and away from you own foods.. maybe in a back fridge or something so it doesn't stink up your main fridge. By This review is from: Zoo Med Can O Pillars 1.2oz (Misc.) I had anoles for years, and if your pet is anything like my guys, the rule is this: if it doesn't move, they won't eat it. If, for whatever reason, your anole won't eat, force feeding them this stuff is nearly impossible, not to mention stressful for the little guys, so if they get sick or stop eating, go to the vet. What often happens is (s)he gives you a syringe (not the really pointy kind, but the plastic-tipped, somewhat wide kind), and you use what they give you (usually some protein type mix) or meat flavored baby food, if the vet says it's ok. If you don't have to force feed them, then go with live food, just as nature intended. Live worms beat dead ones any day, and unless you want to stick your fingers in their mouths and try to shove these things back in as the lizards spit them out, I'd go with the simplest solution: live food. |
