This comment from the reptile parks thread got me thinking about feeding captive Thorny Devils. Does anyone who works or volunteers at a Wildlife Park / Zoo have anything to do with them in captivity? I'm just wondering if ants is all they feed them, and if so, where are the supplies coming from?
When we took a group of kids from work to Coffs Harbour, we went to their zoo there. Instead of feeding the echidnas only ants, they made a wet echidna-mix to supplement the diet so they didn't need to feed them thousands of ants a day. Just wondering if this sort of thing could be done with Thorny Devils?
