red runners are DIRT cheap. They also breed extremely prolifically if hit with some heat. Nightcrawlers would be a great idea! Huge hit in my house.

And yeah, dubia are like roachy gold hahaha

have you tried day-old chicks? If your Gu is too small, you can always chop them to be managably sized. I personally feed as close to 100% whole prey and fruits as is reasonably possible, and I don't let my critters' mouth sizes determine their prey items. That is to say, if the prey is sized such that I could chop it and feed the entire prey item within 1 week, I will offer it.

I also offer a BUNCH of variety. Is there an Asian market near to you? They often have novel food items like snails, frogs, shrimps, and turtles.

My Kepler came to me from a vendor at an expo. I was told she had been feeding on wet cat or dog food exclusively. I have never offered dog/cat food to a reptile(knock on wood) and I don't ever plan to. I don't even feed the stuff to the species it is marketed to. My dog is on raw and when I had cats they were too. There are just too few rendering plants around that even "super duper amazing top of the line more expensive than human food" brand pet foods have to share equipment with the companies that legitimately put dog and cat flesh in their foods. blech. And quality control is not up to my standards even on aforementioned top of the line brands. And like a billion other reasons, but this is neither the time or the place for that. LOL
