I use gallon critter keepers for my tarantula feeders.

I keep a thin layer of baker's wheat bran substrate to keep the feeders clean from moisture, any vegetable rot and their own poop.

I drop in small cuts of broccoli, sweet potato, red potato, banana peel, baby carrots, and green pepper. Pretty much madagascar hissing roaches and crickets. They are super healthy and good for my T's.

I'm now getting new baby dubias and madagascars... which comes in handy for slings/juvie T's. Not interested in breeding anything though.

I am now seeing these small "centipede" like insects in the dubia roach keeper... what are these?

Also in there are these baby dubias that look like this.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I just figured it out. I just watched this.

They seem to be helpful, but my feeders don't last that long to have a clean up crew. Good think I have a 1" layer of petroleum jelly around the top so they don't get out. My wife would be livid! Lol.

Must've been hitch hikers from the pet store when picking up large dubias.

Thanks again.
