                      | I was thinking last night about gut-loading so wondered what everyone else thought- 
 The general idea for amphibians is to give them a wide variety of prey items in their diet - which I'm doing as at the moment we are feeding our 'phibs a range of: dubia roaches, lobster roaches, woodlice, earthworms, black crickets, brown crickets, locusts, mealworms and waxworm moths. From all of those only the woodlice are not being gut-loaded by me.
 
 So the question is: since I'm gut-loading all these things with the same foods- same oat/vitamin mix and the same vegs/greens (whatever scraps from the kitchen get shared) is this really giving the amphibians a variety? Would gut-loading some items one thing and others another give more variety in the 'phibs diet?
 
 Let me know if I'm putting too much thought into it
