Ecuadorian brown velvet is eaten as long as it is a live insect, such as crickets, mealworms, locusts, etc. Ecuadorian brown velvet will rely on nets to catch insects to eat, and sometimes crawl around to catch insects to eat, such as attacking from the back of ants, hanging the ants with nets, and then absorbing nutrients from the ants.

If Ecuadorian brown velvet is raised in captivity, it must be provided with a water basin for drinking water. Because only in this way, the drinking water and environmental humidity of Ecuadorian brown velvet can be well guaranteed.
