What to feed the ciliated banana-eater?
In nature, banana-eaters feed on insects and overripe fruits. At home, they are fed insects and fruit puree or complete, balanced Repashy MRP food, which completely replaces live insects and fruits.

Reproduction of ciliated banana-eaters

They don’t have a mating season. They can lay eggs all year round, so it is important to control this process and let the females rest and recover. During pregnancy, females should be fed abundantly and given more minerals and supplements for good egg formation. The female bears eggs for 1-2 months. For laying in the terrarium, there should be a sufficiently large layer of digging soil so that it is convenient for the female to dig a hole for eggs. Clutch contains 1-2 eggs. After the eggs are dug out and transferred to a special substrate for incubation of eggs, such a substrate does not grow moldy and holds moisture well and is transferred to ינגקיאַבייטערwhere the eggs are incubated for approximately 55-80 days.
