I was thinking of starting a woodlice culture, and I noticed that a lot of the how-to guides recommend carrot/potato peelings (which is no problem) and "Ready Brek" (oat-based, high in calcium, no salt/sugar added) to feed them. Being from the States and all, most of the cereals in my cupboard don't quite fit that description (more like salt&sugar-based, no calcium, with oats added).
I like the idea of providing a balance meal before they become a balanced meal, but I'd prefer something I can just pick up at my local grocery store instead of buying it online. Basically, I'm looking for a US-available alternative to Ready Brek; does any one know of (or use) anything might be a good substitute?
I've also toyed with using cricket gut-load (for example, the brightly-colored & vitamin-fortified gel/ooze available at many pets stores) or calcium powder for lizards, but I wasn't sure how/if this would work (my guess is about the same). Has anyone tried these?
