Question
I was wondering what can they eat? I know cricket and some lettuce, but I've seen in the pet stores something red in their dishes.. Like meat or tomatoes.. But I always forget to ask.

Answer
Crickets, mealworms,waxworms, butterworms,hornworms and fruit like bananas, strawberries, cantaloupe, peach, apple, etc etc.  Usually they eat fruits in the form of baby food  and will sometimes eat soft dogfood.  It could be tomatoes I have heard they will eat them but I have always considered tomatoes to be slightly acidic.
