Good to know ^^ After reading some more I'm coming across more claims that, since you aren't feeding large amount of the worms, whereas you feed large amounts of crickets, the crickets wind up having a higher fat % because they're given in such large numbers. One site said that feeding 5...

I said that sites had them listed as that price... doesn't mean the sites are in Canada. You don't have to be snarky because I wouldn't take 100 (50 of which were males?!) for 75$. :\

Well this can't really be a staple then as I need a bug to feed every day :\

I've seen others use Supers as staples, but I'm a bit worried about their fat content, as they're 17% fat whereas the cricket is 6%. Is this okay?

Bump, still looking for some roaches. Anyone got any?

I'll do that, thanks :)

I believe the scorpion is with the SPCA now and will likely have to be killed as it's illegal and very poisonus.

Looks like I'll be waiting awhile on the supers then. :o

The pet store was named "Kritters and fins" Owned by a couple, in Victoria BC. though this all supposedly -just- happened so I don't think there's any info going around about it yet. I couldn't find too much on the net, but in person I know the SPCA has had to visit them countless times on...

Not quite sure where to put this, but I just HAD to share. For those of you who didn't see it, This was the horror story I ran into with my first bearded dragon, Fluffy 1: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=135143 When I went down to the pet store this afternoon to pick...

I'm ripping my hair out trying to find dubia/phoenix worms. If you know a site/breed any of these, please reply or send me a PM. I'm looking for either a site to provide me with phoenix or enough dubias to start out a colony. (only needs to support 2 beardies)

They seem fairly priced, I just don't know what to use as a staple. x_x I'll keep looking and see what I can find

Ah, okay, I have looked at them, the issue was that they don't have any phoenix worms like I'd prefer to get. :( I'm in a bit of a pickle as no stores around me carry anything other than butter/wax worms, mealies and super worms, so I'm still wondering if Superworms are an okay staple...

I'm located on Vancouver island, and no I don't think I've tried them, I'll try to dig up their site.

I have, but I heard that they take a long time to colonize to get a steady population for feeding. :( And again I'd need a place that can ship to canada.

I'm so, so tired of crickets. :banghead: I was quite excited because my pet store started "carrying" hornworms, silkworms and phoenix worms..except, the phoenix worms are 1.00 each, the silkworms are 1.75 each, and the hornworms are 2.75 each, and take 4 weeks to arrive when you order them. I...

Oh I feel so much better now. :blob5: Maybe it's just that we can feel their joints moving? :dontknow:

Not wanting to start a **** storm over if pinkies are a good idea or not, but I'm wondering when is a safe size to feed pinkies? I have not fed Steve a pinky before, but he (would be) approx 15 inches, (He's missing a portion of his tail) And is 10 months old. When is a safe size/age to feed...

Thanks for clearing that up then! I should really visit this place more often. Steve is my first beardie so I'm still learning, though I try to research as much as I can. I'm used to ferrets and fish tanks :oops:

Ok, I'll definitely start doing that, I was told to slow down a couple days with bugs so that he eats more greens, but I can see he could probably use some more weight. The local pet shop just started carrying hornworms, phoenix worms and silk worms so he can have more variety from now on :)
