I buy earthworms from the bait store and keep most in the fridge. I put a few in a with some of their original soil, some Jungle Mix taken from when I clean Jaws' tank, some coffee grounds. Some there for 2 weeks 'til they get fed. Sometimes I will find little ones that I didn't see when I put them in there. The crickets I buy at the pet store and put with cut-up apples or carrots. If I don't feed them all within a week, they usually die. Plus I'm paranoid abou them escaping.
Now, dumb question. Out in the wild where he was born, how would my tiger have gotten all these complex 10-to-1, etc. vitamins and calcium etc.?
I don't have the resources or space to set up cricket-raising, worm beds, etc. I am not a true herp, just someone who's had an accidentally found tiger for three years and wants to take good care of him!
