Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?My wife gave our beardie 75 crickets at once. She blew up MASSIVE. She has done that before but Sunny never got that big, if ANY noticeable change at all. Should I panic? This is the first time we have seen her like this.

Re: Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?Hello,
Oh my! Wow, she is quite large there. Her body condition, other than being bloated in appearance, looks good. What is her age? Adults only need roughly 40-50 insects weekly. Just how large were the crickets she gave her? I would keep her a bit warmer overnight, than normal, to help keep her metabolism boosted. Around 80 or so is good I hope that she wont get too backed up from too much protein all at once. Be sure you give her some fluids also, to help her kidneys out. Give it a bit of time to see whether or not everything is digesting everything correctly. Let us know how she is doing. Tracie
Re: Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?Reminds me of the skit with the very fat food critic and who didn't think he could fit the little waffle in after eating one of everything on the menu, who eats it with very gory but hilarious consequences.... if you've not seen the skit ….Here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_z_mnSSmQg . sorry for the tangent.
Note : I'm a fatty so I am in no way trying to deride those of us who are obese. Wont happen to the beardie though he may upchuck some. If not , he can do without bugs for a few days and you can probably expect a poopnami over the next few days to week. Yep no more than 8 medium to large crickets per day for an adult , along with daily fresh salad. CBDs: Cleopatra & Caesar born 28Jan19.

Monty Python? Fabulous! Hilariously disgusting! Giving my grades up for adoption, because I can't raise them myself.
I like lizards
Re: Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?
She is about 7 months old. She has salad and water in her enclosure at all times. The crickets were medium to large. Thank you Traci! I will report back. I took her out to get some air and run around on the carpet and she pooped. So loud that I could hear it from her butt!
Re: Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?
HAHA hilarious skit. Monty Python was maybe the best comedy show ever. Hopefully this will pass. I will report back. Thanks!
Re: Wife Gave 75 Crickets at Once? Bloated? Panic?Hello,
Oh my, so she probably feels a bit better now after going potty! I am sure though, that she feels a lot better. I would give her a few days to let her body digest & metabolize everything but seeing as the crickets were not terribly large she should pass everything through just fine! Tracie

VERY BAD advise by someone who is clueless. See my response to his similar bad advise in another thread here : viewtopic.php?p=1887716 CBDs: Cleopatra & Caesar born 28Jan19.
