Feeder crisis

Longfellow777 · Dec 20, 2020

Does anyone on here know anyone that sells dubia or other feeders because my money situation has been a lil messed up and didn’t have enough money to get enough feeders to make it through the holidays. All my normal vendors have shutdown shop for a few weeks. The local pet shops here charge a lot and they never have anything live in stock and never know when they will be getting more of anyone has any recommendations or connections for this stress ridden beardie dad. Thank you for your help

As a last resort I’ll take big dubia outta the colony and cutting them in too pieces does anyone think this is a bad or good idea?

In this position you need to cut consumption by feeding less than normal. They will tolerate this well for a week or 2 easily. You can feed more greens to supplement the shortage. I have done this on occasion and it does no harm.

thank you for the reply Gormagon! we have been doing this but she's only 6 months and kills us to know we could be feeding the growing girl more or (enough). I have seen people on Instagram that breed Dubai and things like that and never got replies. Was hoping someone would know someone who could help. It is good to know they can handle a week or two of the lack of, wow they are awesome resilient animals!

You could cut them up and it would be OK (she chews them up anyway) if she is still interested in chasing them down if they aren't moving. That said, I agree with Gormagon in that she should be fine with a decrease in bugs for a little while. They face this in the wild too. You can supplement with veges which she'll dig into if she gets hungry enough. Those are healthy for her and will also support her growth until you can get more bugs in.

Darwin's in good shape. A little less energetic finally after bursts of running around throughout the mornings. He's sitting on his dog bed in the window sill right now enjoying some sunshine.
