what do baby anole lizards eat2007-11-24 2:03:20

can they eat crickets?

Answers:

Yes they can eat pinhead crickets, that's size number 1 if you have to order in specially - you should get up to a few hundred in a standard cricket size tub. If you feed them greens they will grow quite quickly. Your anole may be able to eat size 2 or even 3. If your anole is absolutely tiny, you may want to get hatchling crickets but these are so small it's hard to see them!

I should think size 1 or 2 should be fine.

If your reptile shop doesn't order them in for you or it takes too long I can recommend this online shop

An adult cricket is 5th on the list and it goes from hatchling - 1 - 2 etc. up to Adult, then Large.

It is 拢1.80 a tub and then about 拢1.50 for postage I think.

Yes they can eat crickets but they must be in proportion the the anoles head. Pinheads (very samll crickets) are typically best but can hae supplements added every now and then. As the anole grows you can up the size of crickets. I personally use the head rule. If the cricket is 1/2 or smaller than the head its safe to eat BUT do not put in more than 12 crickets at a time. If the lizard leaves to many the crickets may over power it and kill it. Remember to keep the humidty in the cage high too! Best of luck

Pin head crickets, and all anoles need vitamins and calcium sprinkled on the crickets. Consult a website or a book on anoles.
