    Let's Talk Beardie Poop - no pictures!

    Thanks for replying Kginxx! I made some additional changes to the tank in order to make sure that he is getting the proper temperature in an effort to rule out any digestion issues. My poor wife was sold a lie that bearded dragons are easy, carefree pets - but that's a whole different thread...

    Let's Talk Beardie Poop - no pictures!

    I know this subject comes up quite a bit and I've searched the forums and read many related posts, however, I still have some questions. My son's beardie is about 4 months old, he's happy, healthy and growing quickly. His enclosure is set up as recommended by this site with tile flooring...

    does anyone feed their reptiworms?

    Reptiworms has very specific information about feeding on their website under FAQs. http://www.reptiworms.com/info.php?faqs&sid=jcafnlcz The bottom line is you only need to feed them if you want them to grow larger. They don't need food to survive for a few weeks, and you should really only...

    reptiworms?

    Our guy is just past 3 months old and entering his major growing stage. His appetite is insatiable. Yesterday he at 56 large reptiworms and would have eaten more if I had given him more. I've never heard a good comparison for repti-worms to crickets ratio but 1 reptiworm has to equal at least...

    My cricket feeder army.

    What are you "gut loading" with? I had always heard that crickets don't need to be gut loaded. Just keep them fed and happy and they'll be fine. I just keep all my crickets in 1 large container and the ones I grab are the ones that get eaten. They eat cricket chow and various vegetables as...

    Cricket Death Rate

    That's news to me! Thanks for replying Brandon. I have never heard that before and will definitely do a better job of removing dead crickets in the future.

    Cricket Death Rate

    Dead crickets were removed with tweezers but not on a regular basis. 10 gallon tank with the entire top screened. I'd think they'd get plenty of circulation.

    Cricket Death Rate

    I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what might have happened. After going over everything we did, I'm starting to question the method my wife used to clean the cricket tank. We keep baby wipes next to our BD enclosure to clean up poop, cricket parts, etc. She used the baby wipes...

    Question about cricket escapees

    The way I understand it, the crickets we buy have a lifespan of only about 8 - 12 weeks. They grow 1/8th of an inch every week until they are 1 inch long. at 1 inch, the males grow wings and 'chirp' to attract females. You likely aren't going to want to purchase them at their full size...

    Cricket Death Rate

    Cricket Chow is Ghan's brand and I don't think we lost many during our cleaning. That was done on Saturday and at that point, there were only about 200 or so still alive so we didn't have that may to lose. My guess is it's probably a bit higher than normal, but cricket death rates are not good...

    Cricket Death Rate

    On August 16, I received an order for 1500 3/8th inch crickets. They are kept in a 10 gallon tank with everything a cricket could ever want - plenty of fresh egg crate, cricket chow, fresh water crystals, greens, carrots, etc. We even cleaned the tank this past weekend. They live better than...

    whats best to use as flooring in the vivariums?

    Earlier today I got time to take my tiles out and I put this in - http://www.rep-tiles.com/ So far, I love it! Fits perfectly, crickets can't get down in the cracks, and cleans up easily. I realize I don't have a lot of time dealing with this stuff, but I've been waiting about a month to...

    reptisun alternative?

    I know a lot of very successful breeders and keepers who use ReptiGlo without issue. I've read all of the negative comments on here about ReptiGlo and while they may have had problems a few years ago, I have seem many knowledgeable keepers use them without issue. With all that said, I'll use...

    How do you keep your crickets alive?

    I'm new at this but I'm on my second box of 1000 crickets and I've done a decent job of keeping them alive so far. The first thing I will say is the crickets definitely need water. If you don't believe me, put a drip of water on the floor of your cricket cage and watch them swarm to drink it...

    Sand

    I just didn't want the mess of sand - every time you get him out you've got worry about getting sand on everything. We keep wet-wipes nearby and just wipe up the poop!
