I do the same thing, except I use a bag. Momo just sits in the middle of the container and waits for the crickets to crawl in front of her. She won't hunt and if they don't crawl in front of her face, she won't eat them. I've honestly only seen her actively hunt crickets once or twice.

Well, she started off in a 67 gallon tank. I posted on another forum with this problem and the only real suggestion I got was to move her into a smaller tank, so I moved her to the 20 gallon. But I set it up with exactly the same things, hoping to make the move a little easier on her. I just...

I've tried feeding her squash baby food. She'll take a few licks but that's about it. There are hornworms at my local petstore but they're huge. I've never seen small ones there before. I had to look up what stress marks are, but yes, she does have them. I'm not sure why or what I can do to...

I'll look around and see if there's a reptile vet nearby. I live in a pretty small town and I don't think there's one here. I also don't drive, so it might take me a little bit to get her to a vet. I'll have to find a vet and then a ride etc. Yay. Honestly? There's no way I can pull the legs...

I'm in Ontario. I'll probably have the same issue with the other feeders because of shipping. I have a rat supplier for my snakes and he does insect feeders but he's sorta expensive with them. His supers only come in one size and his wax worms are $23 for 250. Maybe that's not expensive? I don't...

It's the long tube type. I read they were better on the guides here. With feeders I'm really limited here in Canada. Roaches are illegal all across the country and Reptiworms are super expensive. To get 2 containers of 150 worms it'd cost me $95 with shipping and I just can't afford that. So I...

I've been having a lot of trouble getting my baby beardie to eat. I've had her a month now and I've had nothing but problems. It's like she doesn't want to eat and it's driving me crazy. I am so frustrated with this whole situation. Don't get me wrong, I love Momo to death but I wish she would...

I have the long tube type. I haven't read about giving water with a syringe... I'll have to look this up.

Hi guys. I've had Momo since August 5th and I just want to make sure I'm doing okay with her. There's a few things I'm concerned about. First things first, she is a total sweetheart and I love her! I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge. This is her enjoying a bath last night. Anyway. My...

So even if she only eats one or two crickets a day for up to two weeks she'll be okay?

I picked up my baby beardie on Wednesday night and since I've had her, she has mostly refused to eat. Since Wednesday she's had 5 crickets, max, and has only eaten a few bites of greens. Is this just because she's still settling in? I don't want her to get sick and die on me from not eating...

Again, it's just temporary. My sister's boyfriend is going to build me a nice wooden second level so this just has to do until then. Everything is stable so I'm okay with it for now. I have a T8 hood fixture and a Reptisun 10.0 HO uvb bulb in it. It only covers half the tank :) The temp on top...

What about this? Slate piece glued onto a (new) garbage can. There's a hole cut in it to make it a cave and a staircase made of bricks that is pretty sturdy. It gives a lot more room in the tank... Basking spot is about 10-11 inches from heat lamp and uvb. I'll provide a temp once the temp...

Don't they need to be close to the uvb though? Can I have my dragon lower as long as the temp is right? I'm not 100% sure what temp I'm aiming on. I just turned the lights on not long ago and my slate piece beneath is sitting at like 114. It is on a dimmer, but I haven't adjusted it at all. I...

Now that I'm thinking about it... I think it'd be cool to get someone to build me a 'table' like structure so the cage is actually two levels with a ramp leading up to the second level. Not sure if that makes sense but it would double the space in there.

As I posted before, I've been having trouble setting up an enclosure. My tank is 24 inches high and finding a platform high enough has been really hard! Styrofoam didn't work out for me. I attempted making a structure three times and then had to quit. It was too frustrating. But then I found...

Thanks for your suggestions everyone! I came up with something and I'm hoping this will work. I'll share a pic, let me know. The 'platform' is made of pieces of a wire storage unit that are zip-tied together. It's open underneath and on top is a piece of slate and a couple bricks to hold it...

I'm getting my baby beardie soon and I want to get the tank set up in advance so I can get the temps right. But so far, I can't even get the tank set up. I am so frustrated, I just want to quit :( I have a tank that's 24 inches tall, so I need something pretty damn tall in there so she can...

Hi guys. My little girl is almost old enough for me to bring her home but I'm a little nervous. The breeder says she's really friendly and whenever he walks by she always hops at the glass for him to take her out and cuddle her. That's exactly what I'm looking for in a dragon and why I chose...

I never thought about putting them in the fridge. I didn't know that slowed them down. I think I'll get a cricket keeper and try it out. That might be doable.
