Hi,
I've had a good look around this website, however I'm still having a little trouble deciding on live foods - which ones, where to buy them and of course the cheapest way!
I now have 4 beardies (after 5 years of only having 1 to feed) and 2 of them are fussy! My 5 year old Izzy will only eat locusts (sometimes) and canned silkies (cannot find live ones anywhere! ) which has been fine and affordable for just him, however this x4 is going to get pricey. My female Xena has only shown an interest in locusts and waxworms so far, and my others eat pretty much anything which is good! All of them eat their greens however which makes life easier.
So basically my question is, what would be the best (nutrition and price wise) insect to try as a staple for them?
And just so I can get an idea - those of you who have quite a few beardies, how much do you spend on average on live food?
Also I live in the UK so I need something that I can get easily here!
Thankyou
