What can I do?

Well I breed them and I use a mixture of wheat bran, oat bran, and yellow corm meal for their bedding and I keep fresh potatoes in there at all times. I was just wondering how long they live and when they will die naturally. I have 12 dragons and my older ones seem to not eat much these days so...

I can't feed mine off fast enough and just wondering how long they will last or if I should try and sell or give away some.

Just heard from Jason the roach dude and he said he gets them every now and then too and said they are nothing to worry about. He said they just eat the waste.

Anybody???

when I looked through the waste I noticed some little teeny tiny red bugs/beetles. Not infested with them but just a few from each bucket of waste. Should I be worried about these?

I don't know. I just keep hearing breeders talk about this and about cutting off the lights and heat and things like that. That's what I am trying to find out is the procedure to all of this. There has to be some kind of art to this right? But yes, I want have a good breeding season next year...

OK great so this is what I am looking for here. I am looking for some documentation on the "when and how" to do all this so I can prepare if necessary.

Well not actually sure. I just hear people talking about a cool down period at the end of the year before breeding season. And doesn't brumation just take place naturally?

I want to learn more about this. Can someone point me in the right direction where I can read up on this? Thanks.....

Yes I am aware of that and she did lay 2 clutches in a row from her mating and that was back in January and February so I hope she is done for the year. I need to let her recuperate because she laid infertile clutches in Oct., Nov., and Dec. also, so I think she might be wore out. I am not going...

My reds bred so early in the season. I thought I was going to have a good spring but I can't get any of my other females to breed. I have 3 other females that are old enough and big enough to breed and I have put them in with a couple of my different males but nothing. The males are all over...

Oh I am sorry if I sounded like that. I am not offended by your posts, this is how I learned everything I know to this day. I just never experienced anything like this and was just wondering how to mend his toes. Thanks for all your advice and again I do apologize if I sounded a bit harsh.

I did not mention anywhere that I got him at 2 weeks. He was 6 inches when I bought him and I do not buy or sell if they are smaller than that. I am a breeder myself and know what to do with babies. I always gutload my bugs. I breed my own dubia's and supers also. He is fine and eats the other...

I know all about the not leaving crix in there at night thing and I never do. This was a new baby beardie I just got and at feeding time I threw some 2wk old crix in along with my many other babies. He is in a bin by himself and when I went back 10 minutes later his toes were crewed on and...
