The "worms can eat an animal from the inside out" myth is persistant in the reptile community and is simply RIDICULOUS if you think about it. If you really believe that a worm of any kind can survive long enough in stomach acid to eat it's way out, then you all need to stop eating fruit so you don't grow trees in your intestines!

to bulk up your jar no need to go out and find centerpedes and all that garbage.
and who says worms are bad? its actually really good for them especially gutloaded earthworms.

As for feeders?? IMO i wouldnt touch them and go no where near them unless you know they are safe and quarantined and for pumping them up??.. y take the risk.

to bulk your guy up i would suggest easy to get items such as Market prawns/shrimp, beef/chicken heart mix, well balanced and high protein pellets and on top of that you will need good water parameters (water changes etc). water changes and params play a big part of the growth of your jar.

if you can get a hand on commercial trout pellets these are really awesome as these will pump your fish very fast, they use this at fish farms to pump their stock fast, make sure you know the ingredients though ofcoarse as some ingredients can be harmful:).

yup!!! that's what im doin right now feeding shrimp,chickenheart basically al lthe above that youve said and as for WC i do 50% WC twice a week and about that trout pellets im gonna look for one this is a good idea thanks for the info bro;)
 
I feed my fish a recipe

Beefheart - all fat cut off and cut up
Prawns - de shelled
White Fish like Cod
Good quality pellets
Frozen peas
Garlic Guard
Vita-Chem


I process it all up in a food processor..
Then I put small amounts in sandwich bags..
Flatten them out and store them in the freezer

When its time to feed i just break chunks off. My fish have awsome growth and beautiful colors. Very good diet.

Then i give them earthworms and crickets as treats.

Here's my Red Devil on the stuff.

Thanks guys :)

And natgrapa, i forgot to compliment you on your pictures. VERY nice.
 
I fed mine with those superworms or what you called those super big size mealworm looking worms. Mine grow real fast with this diet alone and recently start taking pork too.
 
i feed my jar with market shrimps, de shelled of course, then i slice them hafway, and stuff around 10-15 pellets in there per shrimp then close is back, pre-soaked then feed it to my jar...
