Question
hello. i found a baby anole outside and i took it in. we have a few other reptiles we care for, but im not sure how to feed this little guy. he is far too small for crickets or grasshoppers.I also read here that he can eat baby food? is it human baby food? he's about 1 1/2 inches long. any suggestions will be helpful. thanks

Answer
Crissy,                                                      Yes he can eat baby food if he is that small. No veggies high protein stuff. You can get crickets from the pet store and blend them . I know it sounds kinda gross , but that is what I had to to the mice for my Burmese when he was tiny. He is 11 feet long and 110 pounds. NOW... At his size he should be able to eat small or pinhead crickets. Good Luck, Tina
