Hey everyone,
I have a quick question about Freeze Dried crickets, can a bearded dragon live off these rather than Live crickets? They're pre-gutloaded freeze dried crickets by Fluker's. My little guy usually loves his crickets and the freeze dried for snacks between actual feedings... I took him to the vet recently for what I think is yellow fungus - and ever since he hasn't touched his live crickets... I've put him in the feeder bin with about 10 (he usually eats 15-20 per sitting) twice a day for last 6 days and he hasn't eaten a ONE... But he's eating the freeze dried ones and seems to love the crunch of them - loves his collard greens, his poops and urates are perfectly fine, actually seems to be going more regular since he's been eating the freeze dried ones....
Any one know if a bearded dragon can survive and be HEALTHY on a diet of non-living insects? I have heard of people that don't like feeding live insects so they feed their reptiles pre-killed ones from a can, or in a container like the freeze dried ones.. Just wanted to get everyones opinion!!!
