We had a similar bump taken off her tail a few years ago, but unfortunately it was from a regular vet and was quite expensive. My question is if we even need to have this removed? As far as I can tell, it doesn't affect her at all and the 3 other beardies we have don't have this issue. She is...

Hi All, I've had a dubia colony for almost 3 years. But for the last 6 months or so, I've noticed that I now am allergic to my colony (basically being near my bin or getting roaches for our beardies). Is there something I'm missing as to why I would now get an allergy after all this time...

Here's my current feeding schedule: Greens every day dubia roaches every 1 to 2 days mealworms once a week My question is if I have to feed them greens every day? Getting fresh greens around here is a pain sometimes. And they only seem to like mustard greens. I thought I read somewhere...

I recently cleaned out my bin and counted 60 males and 180 females. That's a 3:1 ratio. But I have read elsewhere that it should be more like 4:1 or 5:1. Can anyone give me any advice or reasoning on what's a good ratio? And if my 3:1 ratio is not ideal, then why not? Thanks all...

Hi all, After about 6 months of my dubia colony, I can't figure something out. About half of them seem to hang out on the floor instead of the egg crates. I have already thinned out the males a few months ago and they have decent reproductive rates and low death rates. But I just can't...

Hi all, My Dubia colony is going strong. Unfortunately, my 5 beardies are losing their taste for dubias. It's frustrating after 5 months of breeding!! Anyway, how would I know when I need to clean my frass? There's maybe a half inch of it under the egg crates. If I clean it, should I...

Mods please delete.....

I am going to be cleaning out my dubia colony bin soon and I will have some adult males that I won't need. (My BDs are still too small to eat adult dubias). Just curious if I could sell them and for how much? I might have only about 20 or 30. Thanks all...

I saw a bunch of white babies at night about 10pm but in the morning there were no white ones. Do they change color to brown that fast? Thanks all...

I love taking photos of our beardies so I thought I'd share. Since I have a bunch of photos and don't want to suck up BD.org's bandwidth, I will post a link to my photo sharing website. As I update these photos, I'll add the new link here in this original post. Hope you enjoy... MOST RECENT...

I have a big jar of this leftover when I THOUGHT I was gonna raise crickets! Now that I've got dubias, is this OK to use for them? I don't want it to go to waste. http://www.petmountain.com/product/cricket-insects-food/11442-504509/nature-zone-cricket-total-bites.html Plus, it says it's...

I've read a ton of stuff about feeder sizes for our beardies. It always comes back to "nothing larger than the distance between their eyes". Yet every video I've seen with beardies eating dubia roaches, the dubia is always larger than the distance between their eyes!! Is that OK? Some of...

I am in the process of making a Roach colony setup but everywhere I'm checking they all have autoshutoff. Does anyone have a specific place I could check? Thanks all...

Hi all, I've been reading dozens of threads about Reptiworms and still haven't found what I'm looking for. Most of the threads talk about feeding Reptiworms to babies or BDs that are a few months old. What I haven't seen is anyone talking about feeding Reptiworms from 8 months to adult age...

I know the hazards of feeding mealworms (with their hard outer shell), but what about Small Superworms? I saw some at: greatlakeshornworm.com I would think that since they have more protein and less chitin they would be good. Any suggestions?

I recently built a new viv and decided to take photos throughout the build. It's a dual level unit that has access from one level to the next. Our girls are in there and have already figured out how to go from top to bottom, and vice versa! Much more room than they had before in a single...

Hi all, Thanks to the help and previous advice on this forum, I was able to build a crossfire enclosure (4x2x1.5) and add some touches of my own. But I am now in the process of designing a larger enclosure. It will be 4x4x1.5. Basically 2 of my first enclosure. But I have a few concerns...

I watched as Ethel, our youngest was "stalking" her meal. Very funny looking! Luckily I had the cam running and got this video. I cheated a little and looped it with music. Enjoy: View My Video

Hi all, I've been posting photos in a few threads and I noticed that no matter how big my photo is, it always resizes it. Also, I noticed when a thread with photos is first loading, the photos are large size, then they immediately resize. That's nice in most cases, but sometimes I would...
