Default Live feeding

I take it from your post that you are in the USA?

you'd not be able to do that over in the Uk........

No live anoles and strictly speaking not legal.

Have you tries starving it and then rubbing an anole over a DF defrosted hopper?

I was told, you could purify the anole in a blender, and dip the mouse in it, have you tried dead or fresh killed anoles? Im sure Pete will be able to help you out though.
