[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2021776, member: 114539"] If you stopped feeding every insect that has some negative value attached to it, there wouldn't be anything left to feed. I think the big issue with dubias is more because of how we keep them than anything. Babies need protein, breeders need protein, feeders i will not be giving any protein. And even at that they need to be kept hungry for a while to purge the uric acid from them. My plan is basicly starve their rumps off then gut load them with greens before feeding them. As far as the other feeders, i think it is a mistake to offer only one feeder. In nature they eat what they can find, so they may get 6 grasshoppers, or they may get 1 and 3 smaller lizards and a cricket. And that has worked well enough that they have survived this long. I think per feeding, maybe 3 or 4 this a couple that and a few of the other. Plus salad of course. If an overweight beardie is the result i think exercise is the answer. Heck if we set on our rear-ends and don't get out and exercise the same thing happens to us (just look at Kim Kardashian... opps i apologize lol). Personally i think exercise is what most EVERYONE is overlooking. It don't matter how active they are in their habitat, there is only so much room for them to move, explore, RUN, climb, jump, dig. Well you get the point, all the things they would do if they weren't pets. [/QUOTE]
