I wouldn’t have thought such a large specimen would accept something that isn’t alive and kicking. I was under the impression only slings will scavenge feed.

Right I have to ask n will probably box your head but have you noticed a difference in growth rate of the t's you feed raw meat too? I am 90% sure that t's don't get everything they need minerals and vitamins wise as I have noticed and this may sound daft but when I give my t's volvic (a water in the uk ran through volcanic rock so it has minerals in it ) I get much better growth rates and I think its off the minerals in the water. I have experimented with this and on the months I didn't use volvic, I tried not using it for 5 months, my moults went down by nearly half from the year beforewhen i used volvicon the same months . I keep my temps at a constant 24/25° during the day n every night it goes down to 18° so it shouldn't be anything to do with temps or time of year , so I am convinced its the extra stuff in the water . All t's get the same food a mix of meal worms morio worms crickets and locust so I know it isn't the food but makes me wonder with all the extra minerals in raw meat have you noticed the same thing ?

I made a thread about making Ts grow quicker and yeah the right diet does play an important role. I feed them canned and fresh insects, beef, chicken, and turkey. Plus I make sure to gut load the insects with repashy bug burger and grub pie and they pass the nutrients to the Ts.

Important disclaimer: I'm not asking anyone to do what I do, I noticed a lot of new keepers are frustrated that the best beginner Ts are expensive as adult or subadult females, and hard to find.. but as slings these species grow very slowly (typically).. I was in the same boat, so I'm sharing...
Is this safe? I might wanna try this in the future if it is...but please don't write a collage essay about it becuz my tiny brain cant comprehend the words...
