You can use a tupperware, too. that's what I use to do. It's just easier with the Ziploc bag that's all.

I wouldn't worry about it. :wink:

When they are younger, they can eat quite a bit because they need all the calories and protein for growing.

What you can do is after the lights has turned on for at least an hour to give them a chance to warm up offer the salad first. Put in the cage and leave her alone. She may start nibbling on it when she if she is hungry and then offer crickets. After she is eating the salad you can feed her...

I'm not exactly sure because I dont take note, but I just leave the veggies in the cage and one day she started eating them. It may take several weeks, may be longer, before you start noticing it eating salad. You'll just have to leave the salad in the cage for them everyday. Hope this helps...

At two months old they will mostly crickets. STart leaving the plate of salad in their enclosure everyday just to get them use the sight and smell of fruits and veggies and if they are hungry they may nibble on it. Try to make it as colorful as you can to encourage to take a bite. Hope this...

No, just quick pulses in the food processor so everything is even mixed and diced into small pieces so he can't pick out his favorite items. :wink:

I think they can eat a lot of things being true omnivores and should be offered variety of food in captivity. Some things shouldn't be fed as often and as much than others. As for dates, I'm not sure if it's good for them in large quantity, but I do know that most fruits are deficient in...

I wrapped them up in several layers of paper towel and keep it in a Ziploc bag with holes in made on it, the veggies need to breathe that's why I poke holes in it. And the paper towel keeps excess moisture off of the veggies.

You should mix everything together really well, so he can't pick out his favorites. They're just like people...each have different preferences toward different food. I mix in some fruits really well into salad by using a food processor and they seem to like the taste of fruits in the salad...

Yuo could vacum them up.

My bearded will eat just about anything. But I guess there are picky eaters.

YOu can get vitamin B1 pills at Walmart, if you have Walmart in Canada, crushed it and sprinkle a little on the salad. That's what I use to do for my green iguana.

They don't eat ants. Only a few species of animals do. :-) It can actually harm the bearded if you feed them ants because ants have formic acid which can be poisonous if eaten in large amount and they can give one heck of a wallop with their stinger. I

It's vitamin B1 that gets destroyed. if you supplement regularly and feed live preys I wouldn't worry about it.

You can grow many of these foods yourself. Seeds are available at the hardware stores and plant nursery. The veggies that you grow yourself are far more nutritious because they are fresh right out of the garden.

I personally never had any problems over here, but I guess, that might be different if you live in Florida.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't keep it in the freezer for too long. 6 months would be the longest I keep it in the freezer. I try to give my guys the freshest produce whenever possible. Try going to the farmers' market; the produce last much longer from there than from supermarkets. :-)

Yes, I've freeze it after I've shred it and it's OK. :wink:

Mealworms are not good for babies and juveniles; they have a lot of chitin which is indigestible and lead to intestinal blockage if eaten too much. A better choice would Phoenix worms, small crickets, small silk and horned worms. The best one to feed is Phoenix worms--I've been told--but you...
