So I was curious to any updated info that people may have on this subject. We do always post what are the best feeders when it comes to breeding capabilities. But on a nutritional value what do you think, or have found, is the best for a good healthy long lived T? I'm asking this for those who have cared for and had T's for at least a few years to be able to notice any type of variations.
Obviously we know roaches are the most nutritious. But when it comes to T's does it matter about diet variety? Does anyone who has fed with small vertebrates on rare occasions notice healthier looking T's or longer lived T's? Does there seem to make a difference in behavior or activity depending on diets between crickets and roaches or someone who feeds just mealworms/superworms vs those who do roaches? Are there differences between species of roaches even that anyone has noticed?
This is looking strictly at the view point of nutrition, this isn't about morality or what is right or wrong or if vertebrates should or shouldn't be fed or if they pose a danger/risk. Or how crickets are of the devil for how nasty and damaging they can be if left with a molting T, or anything of that nature. This is strictly focused from the point of nutrition, so please keep the topic on that.
