thanks for your reply. she actually hasnt been offered crickets in a couple months now because of her reaction to the single crickets i put in with her, i tried the freezer trick and always used to pull the legs off. i usually only fed her 1 at a time because i noticed they would all escape...

does anyone think it is strange for a predator to be terrified of its measly prey other than me? i think for the mean while i will stick with super worms. if anyone has any suggestions as to what i can do to get her back on crickets that would be a help. thanks!

thanks for your reply, as previously stated she is currently being fed supers and she is beyond 16in. never have i seen her eat 5 at once, its usually one every few seconds, and only 5-6.

well its been a long time since my last post (mostly due to my bearies well being) but as of late she's being acting strange when i put crickets in with her. her temps are fine, basking spot is under a mega ray mercury vap. bulb and she'll be a year old in april. she eats her collards greens...

so i made a thread a couple days ago but had no luck so im starting a new one. whopper will no longer show interest in HER (new discovery, sexed erm, her last night) powdered crickets and only want to eat the brown ones. my problem is how can i get a calcium supplement into her and vitamins ...

lately my beardie whopper has decided he does not wish to hunt apon white crickets, and he will not even show interest in them, but if i put an un-dusted cricket in with all the white ones he'll pick out the brown one and then i get the stick eye until i put more brown ones in :| ive heard of a...

how long have you had him? he may eat very little for up to 2 weeks while he settles in, this is called relocation stress. could you go over your cage setup as well? such as what substrate, lighting and brand names, cage size ect.

hes eating like hes never eaten before, hes had 22 of the 3/4 which surprised me since they are larger than the 1/2 crickets i regularly feed him. hes only about 8.5 inches but my supplier only had 3/4 and 1inch crickets so i decided to give them a try, i pluck the hind legs off to reduce...

im not really sure about the garlic but my dragons completely opposite, he loves the calc. powder. he'll actually go around his viv and lick it off the ground/branches if some falls off a cricket. i'd say dont offer any un-dusted crickets till he gives in and eats the powdered ones. it might...

success! today i went out and bought some crickets for whopper and its been 2 days since he's been offered them. so i place him on the floor of his viv and dropped a couple in and he chased them and ate them. in total he had about 20 (3/4 cickets) today and not once did i hand feed him, hes full...

thanks, ive had whopper for about 2 months now though. so its not relocation stress. i think he just doesnt understand when i put him on the bottom of the viv and place the crickets infront of him because hes used to sitting on his perch being hand fed. im going to try and "starve" him for a day...
