There were some dead crickets in my holder with the live ones. I think my beardie ate a couple of the dead ones. Is he going to be sic or die? What should I be looking for? He ate some salad and drank some water just now, he's behaving normal.

They arent going to hurt him but I would remove the dead ones they cause a lot of stink

Provided these dead crickets were still fresh , that's not a problem 95% of the time . If dead because they've been exposed to a toxin … that's bad.

If they were starting to go off , oozing fluids , not good , will like make the dragon sick.

I can't see any reptile touching a cricket that started to smell like rotten prawns.

Thanks, he seems ok :)

Follow-up tho, he had a container of dubia roaches. Some are dead and I see a couple larvae in there. However, the one I took out and fed him was definitely still alive. No toxins were in there. He should be ok, right?

Just fish the dead ones out and clean out the container they are in

Yes he should be fine - I clean out the dead ones all the time -- and no toxins are there

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
