    What do you put in your dry roach feed??

    I'm out of dry roach feed and decided to just make my own. What do you put in yours? I have flaxseed, chia seed (can they even be used?) rolled oats, oat flour, quinoa, maybe other stuff. Not even sure if I can use any of this? I can get different stuff too if needed.

    Keeping dubias warm enough to breed...

    I have my breeder dubias in an aquarium with a heat pad under it but I don't think it's warm enough. I was considering using a light on top but won't that make it too bright in the cage? I thought they like it dark? They just don't seem to be reproducing very quickly so thought maybe it's nit...

    Never seen a poop like this. (Pic)

    My dragon is just under 4 months old. I've had her since she was 1 month old. She's grown a lot and is very active. After some adjustment time she now eats really well. She mostly eats dubias with a few meals of crickets mixed in each week. She's just starting eating some of her salads...

    Any way to get dubia roaches to breed faster?

    My baby dragons are eating me out of house and home. Lol!! Is it possible to get the females to breed more or more often or just make sure it's optimal conditions to breed? What are these conditions? I have 30-35 females and about 20 males. I'm getting babies because there are tiny ones but...

    Babies don't like to be handled at all....

    My babies don't like coming out of their enclosures and just try yo scurry away if you try to hold them so I haven't been for fear of losing one or added stress they don't need. Will they settle down with age? The one comes to the glass of her aquarium often and will look at you and tilt her...

    Feeding baby dragons

    I am running low on dubias so I have been doing a couple of days of only 1 meal of them and then making sure a nice bowl of veggies are available. For the first time my babies are actually eating some of their veggies. Should I continue to do it once a week or maybe every 2 weeks to get them...

    How to clean the glass with them in it

    Is there a way to clean the spots and stuff of the inside of the glass of my dragons enclosure and be able to return her to it right after cleaning? She's just a baby and doesn't care for being handled so I try to get her back in quickly when I clean it. I take out the decor to clean it and...

    Are they getting enough to eat?

    I have 2 babies, just over 2 mos old. I feed dubia roaches as my staple and bfl as my secondary. Squirtle and Charmander eat their dubias right up no problem. (They are the 1st meal of the day) Then the 2nd meal is the bfl. It takes them until morning again (they get them early afternoon)...

    "High colored" babies??

    I got 2 baby dragons about a month ago and I was told they were "high color." I want to say the original ad said hypo orange but it's no longer available. Anyhow I'm wondering if anyone can tell by looking at them as babies if they really are "high color" as I was told. Sometimes I think they...

    Baby beardies don't want to be held.....

    I've had my babies (finally named them too, Charmander and GeoDude LOL) for just about a month now. They are eating really well and very active and definitely notice when you come into the room or walk by their enclosure and GeoDude is often found near the front glass sitting on her bridge or...

    Babies aren't eating greens.

    I know babies don't need much for greens but mine aren't eating any at all. I've fed collard greens, dandelion greens, grape leaves, green pepper, peas, mint, squash, cucumber, clover and probably others but they've yet to eat anything. I mix their bugs with their greens but they carefully pick...

    Where to buy Roaches

    I'm feeding 2 babies (2 months olds) mainly Roaches with a few meals per week of crickets, bfl, and occasional horn worms. Where is everyone buying their Roaches and really any insects. I need to order Roaches again (still working on building a colony) and bfl (didn't order a lot last time...

    Caring for your black fly larvae....

    I bought my first black fly larvae and my baby dragons eat them okay. Not a first to go, but they do eventually get eaten. My question is are they worth the gross factor. I don't mind the bug itself, but the container they're in. When I received they were in a black dirt like material. I got...

    How would you plan these bug meals?

    I now have black fly larvae, dubias, crickets and horn worms. How would rotate these bugs? I have a colony of dubias, ordered 200 black fly larvae, got maybe 2 dozen crickets, (can easily get more if they should remain in the rotation), and 50-60 horn worms. I free feed my 2 babies. They won't...

    Leaves from trees?

    Are there any leaves from trees that are safe for dragons? I have 2 baby dragons. They are both about 7 weeks old. I have maple, grapevine, and a few others growing in my yard. I could also get apple from my sister. Just looking for variety but want to make sure they're safe. My little ones...

    How many black fly larvae and horn worms?

    I'm going to order some black fly larvae and some horn worms first my 7 week old baby dragons. I can get very tiny horn worms so thought they'd be a good addition since the are active and will hopefully interest my babies. (If you see my other post I fear they might not be eating enough dubias...

    How can I make my dubias more active?

    My baby dragons don't eat very much at one time and will only eat in their enclosures so I free feed in their dishes. But the dubias aren't very active and I sometimes wonder if my babies would be be intrigued to eat more if they saw them moving more. Several times per day to wiggle the dish and...

    What all should I be feeding my dubias?

    I want to make sure my dubias are as nutritional as possible for my baby dragons. What should I be feeding my dubias? My baby dragons are about 7 weeks old if that matters. I offer greens every day but I haven't seen them eat them at all. (My baby dragons) I currently feed my dubias orange...

    When can I start interacting with them??

    I've had my baby girls for just about 2 weeks now. I've tried to handle them minimally so they would start eating well and become well adjusted to their new home. One is really starting to eat well. I'd say she's eating 20-30 dubia per day. I put in several in her dish once a day and then check...

    Babies aren't basking....

    I just got my babies a week ago Friday. They are finally eating better and I'm finding poop in various spots in the cage so I'm assuming are digesting it fine but I never see them basking in the warmest location in their enclosures. I've checked the Temps and they're usually around 108. So I...
