Whooo lots o' questions!!
1) I was going to buy crickets and mealworms in bulk from my store, stick them in freezer (to humanely kill) then dehydrate them. How long and what temp should I do it for? What other bugs should I use? I want to give them extra bugs daily besides what they forage.
2) How do you get your pumpkin seeds? I can only find a couple cup fulls, raw, sprouted & shelled for $4.59!! if I sprout them myself, can I store them in bulk along in with their foraging mix?
3) Foraging mix, besides their base organic lay pellets (soy free!!!!) I was going to mix up flax, oat seeds (grouts?), PGR (by Dynamite, private label), pumpkin seeds, a tiny handful of corn (to big 6 gallon bucket), BOSS, oatmeal and throw the bug mix along side it. Does this sound good? They are free range on grass. I've been out of pellets since friday, and they have all been doing well on just foraging, scratch, BOSS, oatmeal and cans of just beans (lol.)
