My beardie has lost interest in crickets… I was just told meal worms are too harsh, I am in Canada and dubia roaches are illegal live but come packaged… unfortunately she is not interested in dead insects! What is another good option for feeding her? She is eating hornworms, but I want to make sure those are an okay staple food.

One thing you can try is the vacuum packed bugs. They're dead, but not dried out. I use tongs, and shake them in front of my boy's face, so it looks like they're moving. He doesn't like dead insects either, unless I feed them to him this way.

I order a lot from Josh's Frogs, but I don't know if they ship to Canada. They're located in Michigan. But they have a lot of selection on protein sources, and some good info too.

try to feed solider fly larva or pupea(live) can be obtained at ecofly.com if that doesnt work then try feeding horn worms hope this helps:)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
