That would be awesome - I need to upgrade the container I keep them in, but as it gets warmer (and this is my past year in a freeeezing cold apartment) they should be able to thrive! I think I'm down to two or three adult females at this point, so anything would help! Side note: just got the...

She claimed they're just more nutritious than a lot of insect options, then directed me to anapsid.org and said it has a lot of good info. I'm gonna err on the side of no pinkies, my research and this info you've added don't seem to support her recommendation unfortunately, it admittedly makes...

I tried to do some searching on this forum and I see quite a few people advising against feeding their dragons pinkies, but my vet just explicitly recommended them at our visit the other night. This is a big ol' girl who just laid some infertile eggs, is currently being treated with antibiotics...
