I have 5 new born alligators............I can not find crickets small enough so I have spread about banana and attracted fruit flies..............does anyone have any suggestions for food for this litle cricket size babies??

I think our other adult is expecting aswell.............so I need to get some small food started.

We have a 57 gallon corner tank and the set up is very nice. The lizards are very healthy and happy and well fed but I need to get the babies food figured out.

Try wing-less fruit flies (vestigial fruit flies). They are readily available in pet supply stores.
I am about to go out to Petco and get some for my hatchlings. Be sure to dust the flies or all food with vitamin fortified calcium powder.

dont your local petstore sell pinhead crickets?
thats weird..like he said try getting the wingless fruitflies and i recomended to to dust the flies too much or dont dust them at all.
if their still young then its not always good to use vitamin powders.

I bought some pinheads and the babies are all doing awesome. I have been getting some great photos. the one fat girl continues to get bigger. If she is not pregnant I will be very surprised. Say ....the babies also eat banana FYI. We have seen them several times eating the soft fruit.[Image]
