Wild-caught, pesticide-free insects can be fed to your anole as well. Avoid feeding your anole superworms or king worms. The mandibles in these worms can cause injury to an anole. [4] X Research source
If you place a water dish in the enclosure, be sure that it is shallow dish and that a plant stem or branch is placed in the water so the anole can escape from the dish if need be. [5] X Research source
Keep the cricket container in a dry place and be sure that it is in darkness for at least 8 hours per day. [7] X Research source Place eggs crates or paper towel rolls vertically in the enclosure so that the crickets have tall structures to climb. Remove dead crickets as soon as possible. Crickets will, at times, eat the dead, which can lead to disease. [8] X Research source
Dry foods such as oats, mixed seeds and nuts, wheat bran, alfalfa, and fish food are great staples for a cricket’s diet. Be sure to provide chopped fresh greens and finely chopped potatoes and carrots to ensure a healthy cricket diet. Apples and oranges are great for hydration. Place a few chopped pieces of these fruits to avoid dehydration and cricket cannibalism. [9] X Research source [10] X Research source
