Hello everyone.
First post from a newbie 'beardie' owner (6 days in).
What temp can you keep feeder crickets at? For the past week, we have a cricket feeder tank stored in the bedroom close to the main tank but due to a successful escape attempt last night (the crickets), the other family members are not that impressed.....can I store them in the garage (the crickets, not the family)? The temps can get quite low (40-50s) in there so not sure if harmful to them or will lead to much shorter lifespans? I've heard that storing crickets in bedrooms is not ideal in case they escape plus they may cause respiratory issues (the internet told me that so it must be true right!).
Thanks in advance for any advice.....sure I'll have lots of questions over the coming weeks about other ownership issues as I want to be sure we're giving 'Oatmeal' (daughter's name choice) the best possible life.
