    Dubias smell terrible?!

    Dubias will give off an ammonia odor if they are stressed. Sometimes happens when they are being handled too much for sorting. Put them in a dark, quiet area and leave them alone. Try this.

    Help! Young Beardie Not Eating Enough Crickets

    Mr Ed is still not eating crickets that I can see. However, still very active and healthy. I have seen him in water bowl drinking. I have been letting about 20 calcium dusted crickets loose in front of him in 50 gallon vivarium. He doesn't even chase any. The crickets are mostly dead or hid...

    Advice on feeding young beardie

    I raised my first beardie on just crickets.....no other bugs.....no problems. Unfortunately he had to be euthanized at 13 months due to cancer, but that had nothing to do with his diet. I just got my crickets from a local pet store. I looked into bulk shipments, but with the winters being so...

    I'm Losing Him

    Nothing to do with the fire! Sorry to tell you this but I think your beardie has liver cancer. The most humane thing to do is euthanasia. I just lost a 13 month old beardie to cancer that was in his bone and muscle tissue, which started in his front legs. He would barely move his front legs...

    Help! Young Beardie Not Eating Enough Crickets

    Thanks for that idea. I actually tried that using a small Dixie cup but crickets were crawling out between time of getting them out of cricket cage and vivarium. Today I used plastic feeder container. As soon as Mr Ed saw me holding plastic feeding chamber and getting in his vivarium he went...

    Help! Young Beardie Not Eating Enough Crickets

    I just got a new baby beardie last week and it doesn't seem to be eating enough crickets. I have the exact same cage setup that had with a previous beardie who recently died of cancer. I have a 50 gallon vivarium, so I place about 7-10 small crickets in a smaller plastic container and place...

    Meet Mr Ed

    I just got Mr Ed as a very young beardie about a week ago. I previously had a beardie named Mr Choo who had to be put to sleep recently because of very bad cancer in his bones and muscle tissue (which appeared to have started in his front legs). Fortunately there is a local vet who specializes...
