I'm back....again...sorry.
So, yesterday I ditched the crickets as my main feeder as they are getting larger and larger every time I order them and honestly...I hate everything about them. They are starting to chirp now that they are mature and they stink! So I found some guy that wanted them and I'm cricket free! Thank goodness!
So, I received my first order of black soldier fly larvae yesterday and my little Pascal loves them. I read they are great feeders and are naturally high in calcium. He also eats a variety of greens that include, collard greens, mustard greens, cilantro, green beans, and snap peas. Do I have to do any calcium supplement with any of his food now? And since they are high in calcium...is there a limit on how many I should be feeding?...or still let him eat until he is full?
Second question. In regards to the black soldier fly larvae. They are kept in a coconut fiber substrate...more of a dirt substance than fibers. I'm curious if this is harmful for beardies. I dip them in water before I feed them, but it doesn't get all of it off all the time. Is this going to be an issue?
