    WOOT!! Im a grandfather!

    I looked in my bin of breeders today and lo and behold there were BABIES! Probably 20-30 of them running around in there. I was ecstatic! Was going to pass out cigars, but didn't know the sex of them. I didn't think they were ever going to breed! :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8:

    How many dubias do you feed?

    How many dubias do you give your beardies per feeding? Fred usually would eat 20-25 crix and be full and happy. I put 10 dubias in his cage and he will eat maybe five and look as happy as he did with 20-25 crix. So, I will take the remainder and put them back in the dubia cage. How many will...

    container size for dubias?

    OK, I have about 200 roaches and i have transferred them to a large plastic tub with a lid. The tub is about a 75 gallon tub. Is this too big for this amount of bugs? I have my egg crates on one end and my food and water crystals on the other. Will they find the food? It seems like such a long...

    Greens and salads and not eating them, oh my

    When I offer Fred his salads, every day, he just looks at it like something he doesn't want nor need in his cage. Is just putting them in his cage in a small bowl enough, or should I be doing something else to get him to eat them? He ate some a few days in a row and now wants nothing to do with...
