Yeah, the juvenile beardie bites are what i feed oscar because they are very small, about the size of the tip of a pen and Oscar is only 2 months old :) . He hates them, though. :bleick: -Emzers & Oscar :D

Okay, so i think we've had a breakthrough :D . Oscar has been eating two crickets a day rather than one every other day! :mrgreen: This has only been happening for a couple of days, though, but i hope it will last!! I will order phoenix worms ASAP. I still can't get roaches :( . I told my...

Yeah do NOT use mealworms!!

Weird. It's definetly not normal. What food are you using? I use Fluker's Orange Cubes; Complete Cricket Diet. Can you post pictures? All you need to do is get a photobucket account. For more details on how to post pics go to the photo expressions forum and read "How to post pics". Good luck...

Great!! My Oscar has problems with cricks too. He gets scared of them and only eats one every other day. I'm worried about his growth because he needs protein. Does calcium help beardies grow, because he likes the calcium dust. I think he is coming around though because he has been showing more...

Yeah, my Oscar will eat all the collard greens in the world, but he hates beardie bites and butternut squash, which is weird because most beardies love butternut squash. :) I'm going to try apples and see if he likes it. I will also try dandelion greens. We checked Food World, Piggly Wiggly...

Do dubia roaches, or nymphs, impact? They look like they have a pretty hard outer shell. ?????? -Emzers & Oscar :D

Okay, thanks!! :) Do phoenix worms have good protein? They don't impact like mealworms, right? I know that mealworms can eat through beardie's stomachs (this happened to my previous beardie :cry: ), can pheonix worms do this? If they do, i can smash their heads before i feed them to Oscar...

Oscar is doing well, but still picky about crickets. He will eat one or two and then one will bite him and he will freak out and not eat anymore until the day after the next day. Like say i put him in his feeding tank today (Wednesday) and he ate one then a cricket bit him. He then scratches the...

That's hilarious!! Ozzy is so cute! Merry Christmas!! :mrgreen: -Emzers & Oscar :D

Nikipop, Thank you for the story, it was really encouraging. I tried the feeding cage this morning and he ate one cricket and started clawing at the sides wanting to get out like yours did. I will try again this afternoon and hopefully he will eat more and maybe Oscar will do the same as your...

I wish i could help, but i'm new to this and on my first beardie (well actually my second but i only had my first one for 2 weeks because a mealworm ate through his stomach :cry: ) , so the only thing I can guess is that maybe he is just in between growth spurts. I wonder if brumation can make...

Anolan13, Oscar is almost two months old and i am using reptile carpet. He ate one cricket this morning and mostly all of his salad. This is the first cricket he's eaten for like 4 days. It seems like the crickets are biting him. A cricket will get on his tail and i will see it's little jaw...

Gail, I tried the seperate feeding cage thing, and it didn't really work out but I will try it again. The crickets seem to be biting him. I will convince my mom to let me buy the dubia roaches. I'm just worried because every body else is saying that their baby beardies are eating like 5 or 6...

So what about dubia roaches? -Emzers & Oscar :D
