Best food for a warrior beetle.

[jon321]

I bought some superworms and the beetle will latch onto them then it will let it go. What have you guys been feeding yours?

I've never kept them but I would say crickets or non burrowing/climbing roaches would work best.

i fed them random insect that I caught plus national geographic gecko entrée.

because my gecko wont touch that...

Surprisingly a lot of beetles can eat those, including some tiger beetles, eleodes, and BDFBs lol!

I feed mine mealworms and roaches, I really don't think there is a "best" food, just feed them whatever prey they'll accept, they really aren't picky.

It's uncommon to find a gecko that accepts pelleted foods once they've grown accustomed to more natural forms of food. I once purchased a container of dry pellets that were apparently being sold as gecko food only because it was marked down to a dollar and looked like it would work well as a cheap food for some of my inverts.

You could try using caterpillars or other organisms with softer exoskeletons and higher moisture content than a superworm or mealworm. They may accept the pupae, though.
