Thank you! He is getting very excited to put them in the bug catching container. They're hoping to be able to see them better with their magnifying glass :) I will keep you updated about the substrate we end up using. :) Thank you for all of your help!

Sorry for the multiple replies. My brothers found the container from their bug catching kit and would prefer that. It is bigger and I think the holes are definitely better than the ones in the container I prepared. I am attaching a picture.

This is the container that I prepared for them. Is the size okay? I also attached a picture of the top. I poked holes in it using a sewing needle. I held it up to the light so you can see them better. Is that sufficient for them to get enough oxygen? And also I don’t think I can get the oats...

Update: All three of my brothers that were home at the time had a blast trying to feed him. Even my dad got involved! (For reference, I live at home with parents and siblings, my parents bought us Herman almost two years ago, and as the oldest sibling I ended up doing most of the research and...

Also, I’ve seen in some places that superworms bite? And it’s best to crush the head before feeding? I don’t know how true this is because I’m getting a variety of opinions on this matter and I trust the people on this site. I just want to keep everyone safe and unbitten especially Herman.

Thanks. Now how would you suggest I go about this if I am too squeamish to even look at them? Like I said my brothers will be doing the feedings but they’re young and probably will not help me clean out and replace the oats (which I will have to go pick up tomorrow). I really dug myself into a...

How do you change out the oats when they get moldy? How do you know when they're starting to get moldy? How often does that happen?

I don't know how much he weighs. I do not have a food scale so honestly I have no idea how I would go about weighing him. I don't think he is underweight, he loves to eat. At the same time, he is definitely not overweight. How much is he supposed to weigh? When you suggest 5 per week, do you...

I was talking about the crickets when I meant die fast. I don't want them to last so long! They completely and utterly gross me out lol. I'm going to be relying on my bug-obsessed younger brothers to help me. I will be ordering crickets as well. How many superworms can he eat in a day? In case...

He is not underweight as far as I know. He just hasn't had any protein for a few days since I wasn't able to get the insects until today but by the time they came it was too late to feed him. I know beardies can go awhile without food, but I also know that in the summer months Herman is at his...

Hi, I'm glad this is a recent thread because I just bought a cup of 50 superworms. I usually buy my bugs online with same-day delivery. Last week they did not have crickets in stock because the shipping schedule was off due to the holiday, so I got a cup of mealworms and that was all. I don't...

Thanks everyone! I will look into buying these!

I understand that. As I mentioned, I do not have a carrier for him. I would take him to the bedrooms with an open window and closed door to the rest of the house, but I cannot supervise right now. I may be able to find a shoe box. Is that good? How do I know if he is having trouble breathing?

Hi all. I'm not sure how many of you are aware, but Passover is quickly approaching for us Jews. I am Orthodox, so me and my family are very strict about the rules etc, and for Passover, that includes cleaning the house from top to bottom to remove pretty much any food (in reality the rule is...

Thank you! Public schools in the area are online today, and the school where I work cancelled. Looks like it only turned to snow around two hours ago, and it's supposed to keep snowing for pretty much the rest of the day as far as I can tell. We got around 2 inches so far. The power is holding...

I don't have a walmart near me, and Idon't think I'll be able to get out again tonight. I will try to order for next time. Can a hot water bottle wrapped in towels do the same thing?

Hi all. I have a bearded dragon a little over a year and a half old. My area is expecting a major storm, starting with rain tonight and turning into snow by the morning. We're expecting up to 10 inches depending on the path of the storm, and the power company sent a message to expect an outage...

I have heard from this website that bee pollen powder can help entice beardies to eat their salads. Mine HATES to eat his veggies, even when i put worms in there he's just eat the worms off the top and give up when they go under. I want to try to get bee pollen powder to help him get to like it...

When we need the light in the room we cover the whole thing with blankets. Otherwise we get glared at!
