DietGeneral infoCalcium is a very important part of the fat-tail's diet. The primary source of their diet is crickets. Various sources show fat-tails can be fed as little as 3 times a week and as often as once a day. But everyone agrees that the crickets that are being fed to the fat-tails need to be calcium rich. This can be done by feeding the crickets calcium rich food or coating them with a calcium powder. Pinky mice, mealworms and wax worms can be also offered occasionally. What we doCrickets are our fat-tails main food. We feed the crickets a calcium food, and coat the crickets with a calcium powder before we put them in the fat-tail tank. We feed them between 12 and 15 large crickets each day, which the 3 fat-tails share. They get fed in the evening, about 1 hour before we turn the lamp off. Once in a while, we get pinky mice for them, but not often. |
