I have to disapoint you, I am not experienced enough to provide a comprehensive list of feeders.
But I had the idea that such a list would be very useful especially for beginners. I was thinking about listing all reasonable feeders with their pros and cons, maintanance and breeding requirements, as well as a list of general tips on feeding. Everything short and comprehensive.
Just to give an example that is neither complete nor necessarily right:
Zophobas (zophobas morio, aka "Superworms"):
[insert picture]
Larvae of the darkling beetle
Pros:
- low maintenance
- no smell
- no loud noises
- last a long time
- big meal
- not much waste after feeding
Cons:
- burrow in the enclosure
- can bite the T
- not much movement that triggers feeding response
Ideal for: bigger Ts or diced up for slings
Tips: crush the head before feeding to prevent burrowing (thanks @ColdBlood)
Maintenance: keep very close together and feed with oat meal (...). Don't add moisture.
Breeding: I have no clue, really ...
