Hey guys, my little guy Zeus is a whopping 7 inches now haha. His appetite has finally increased after being home for 2-3 weeks! I still have not been able to feed him any salads and I've tried a couple different things to spike his interest. Even the famous butternut squash, chopped or peels...

I wouldn't mind some babies if you're able to ship some over to GA :O

Hey There! I'm actually recieving my shipment for 40 females and 10 males this week! along with 1000 1/4" babies so that I don't feed off my colony and never be able to start one haha. I learned a great recipe for them to get them full of protein and calcium! Check out this link below: START...

Where's the sticky on this forum from an expert's guide on starting a Dubia roach colony for noobs? I have a 6-7" baby beardy and I think I'm ready to start a colony. I've watched a few videos but I'm surprised there isn't a sticky thread about it.

Great video !! I have a baby dragon named Zeus, and I want to start my colony now so he doesn't eat me out of my own house :lol: .. is it a good idea to start breeding now? I ordered 100 small ones in the mail to start mixing into his diet while he's still young. (Approximately 6 Inches from...

Poor little guy! How big is the bump on his head? and yeah his new hut should be a bit better for him. Hopefully it goes away with time. Have you had any vet every take a look at it? I'm sure you've done your fair amount of research already :lol: Your stories about your beardies cracked me...

Okay great! thank you so much. I did that this past weekend! UPDATE ON ZEUS: :mrgreen: His appetite seems to be increasing the past couple days! Today he had a whopping 15+ crickets in one session! I've never seen him eat that much! I also left about 8 silk worms for him in the afternoon...

seems like you guys have everything timed perfectly! How old are they now? any pictures? I also need to purchase a timer for my lights. Wheres a good place to get a good one? I'm really happy to hear they settled in perfectly though! you drove a while to pick them up! Was it from a breeder?

Haha of course. his name is ZEUS 8) And you're right .. tonight I ran home earlier to be able to feed him a few hours before bedtime. I need to get a timer for the lights so I don't have to stress getting home on time and what not. And you're right, it would be so much easier to feed him with a...

Wow infection? is there a specific name to it? that's a real bummer but how is he acting now compared to how he used to act? And yeah you're right, sleeping out in the open is definitely good sign! Hey doesn't always have to be fancy! as long as it gets the job done :D But Yes hopefully he...

Wow TWO weeks? man I would of had a heart attack. I don't know if it's just me but when he doesn't eat I get stressed out haha. I'm sure you were! and I appreciate that. I'm trying to get the temp perfect because the bulbs were getting hotter after all the hours on... 125 F in the basking area...

Thank you so much for your reply! I will also add some calci-worms to his diet as well then! sounds like a plan. I've also gut loaded the crickets like you mentioned the night before so they should be good to feed him tomorrow! Also thanks for that link again, I was on that page once and I...

I just got home at 10:30pm and since around 5:30pm he only had one silk worm... I left him 12 in a bowl and I came home tonight and he didn't eat any! he was near his basking spot but hanging on the tree where he slept the night before.. normally hes knocked out around 8:45 but he walk backed to...

Thank you so so much! :D Yes that picture he was definitely stuffed with some critters! And thank you for those tips. I'm making sure he stays hydrated as much as possible! Right now he's sitting on the basking area, and he likes to sometimes shut one eye. This is normal? Like I said above...

Thank you so much and yes attitude can do a complete 180! The first couple days he was cool with being picked up and now the past 4 days or so hes been settling in he never allows me to pick him up and just runs around the cage until I grab him. And yes I'm trying to be as gentle and as friendly...

You're the man. I'm setting an order for some extra small dubia roaches now! And thanks for the tips I'll setup a smaller colony the same then! So whats the proper way of feeding these little guys? bowl? let them roam? hand fed? Thanks for the brisk replies :)

WOW that was awesome nutrition information! I really really appreciate it! To your first paragraph, I will make sure to try to keep a balanced diet with the all the worms you listed! As for dubia roaches..I thought those things were too big for him? Wheres a good source to order them? To your...

Looks like a boy to me but I'm still a newbie. Try the flashlight method over on top of the tail so it shines through so we can see the inside! that would be an easier way to sell for sure!

Hey guys! Never would I EVER get a reptile or consider getting one.. but a couple days ago I asked to hold one at Petsmart for the first time... and well you can guess the little guy didn't leave my mind for the next two days and eventually went out and got him and his terrarium. I'm on...
