I have a AST and was thinking of making him food fish, shrimp, earth worms a whole bunch of stuff mixed up and made into jello. Anyway should I add some veggies? If so what kind?
I'd skip the earthworms and keep it mostly shrimp, tilapia/bluegill, silversides, etc. Beefheart may be good as well. I've never tried making a mixture for my AST so I don't know if he'll take to veggies or not, but if it's mixed in with his regular food you probably have a better chance of success. You may want to add a vitamin/calcium supplement like Herptivite too.I have a AST and was thinking of making him food fish, shrimp, earth worms a whole bunch of stuff mixed up and made into jello.

Supposedly they do eat veggies in the wild but mine has never eaten veggies alone. Like I said if you mixed some veggies into the meaty stuff he'd probably be more likely to take it, but as to how much or what kind of veggies you should use I'm not sure.Yea I got the idea off the diy king his video where he did it with the gelatin. But yea was going to add some powered calcium in it just trying to get a good mix of food for him didn't know if he at veggies in the wild. I read they do but I wanted your guys advice
