    storing, prepping and feeding crickets

    I am by No means an expert, but I'll share what we do. Because I am grossed out by insects, I keep the crickets in a cricket keeper, inside of a larger critter keeper, inside of a Rubbermaid tub. Outside. I do not bring them in the house at all. When Oscar needs to eat, I take him outside, let...

    Did you notice a difference...

    When you switched from small to medium crickets as far as how many your bearded ate? We switched a couple of days ago, and he went from eating 10-12 crickets in a sitting to about 5 at a time. I still feed him twice a day, and actually most days now, I offer three times a day because I keep...

    How did your baby dragon like ReptiWorms?

    I have both the calcium and the vitamin powders...so it's no big deal to dust them, and actually would be preferable to me to make sure he is getting everything he needs. If it's not possible to overdose, I'll continue to dust them....I may as well use it up! Is one worm=one small cricket as far...

    How did your baby dragon like ReptiWorms?

    Thanks for the information! I think I'll order 100 large ones to start and if he likes them, go to mostly reptiworms with cricket treats...maybe 5 or so a day? How many reptiworms would you recommend ped day? He gets feed bugs twice a day, and always has fresh fruit/veggies/greens available. We...

    How did your baby dragon like ReptiWorms?

    Yeah, I'd be ok ordering a couple hundred worms online, as they seem to be no maintenance and they don't smell or escape. I can not handle having 500 crickets in my house though, hence the frequent trips to the store. I know, I know, I'm a big baby. I have this whole complicated system with the...

    How did your baby dragon like ReptiWorms?

    I'm considering switching to these from crickets. Or at least supplementing. My baby is eating so many crickets, and as I buy them from the store vs online in bulk, it's costing me a fortune!!! The ReptiWorms seem like a perfect feeder...the require no maintenance from me, are good nutrition, no...

    Only crickets???

    Thank you! I actually got him/her to eat a few bites of zucchini...we had him out during school time and I put a tiny piece at the end of my pointer and wiggled it in front of him and he went to town. I think he just enjoys the hunt, so we will try daily to give him fruits and vegetables that...

    Only crickets???

    We just got a bearded dragon...he's about six inches long, so I'm guessing his age is 2-4 months. He refuses any and all fruit and vegetables. He will only eat his crickets. We got meal worms, but now I'm seeing those aren't a good choice, which is just as well since he refused to eat them...
