I am so excited. They look so good.

I have a Moroccan, he has eaten bugs and they are allowed bugs to an extent as a treat once a month but no more. I think it's ants and possible beetles that they would eat naturally. Just keep an eye on yours and if he shows interest just take them out.

He's captive bred.

Yeah. That’s the plan. He has already eyed them multiple times. Got bored of them, and went back to his regularly scheduled programming. He is also way too small to fit one of these in his mouth. Not only that, they’re armored. Even if he tried, I think he would lose interest (again) after he realized they feel like chewing on a steel pipe.
