hi i want to buy any type of cheap feeder for my beardie cuz he had suddenly stopped eating crickets for some reason he was eating them at first but then the next 2 days he didnt eat any! i was worried cuz he never done that before he always eat anything i give him so i was shocked! :shock: but then i decided to give him phoenix worms and a little bit of mealworms and he ate those right away :? so any one knows any other cheap feeders than crickets?
You really should'nt feed mealworms to bearded dragons, first off. I think you should consider starting a roach colony, easiest thing to do. You pay a bit at the begining and 4-6 months later you have a never ending supply of the buggers it's great!

oh dont worry im not feeding those i was just trying a few out and see if he would eat them thats all that was my first time trying them this week i was feeding him silkworms on a regular basis but dubias they are expensive to get and i dont have no more room to put them in my room any others cheaper ones you know?
Dubia are easy to take care of, however, you need some supplies first. Also idk how cost worthy it is if you only have one dragon and theyre an adult. I know most adults don't eat that much protein. Starting a roach colony is nice but if you're looking for a simple feeder and don't mind spending $15 every 2 weeks then you could seek out reptiworms. When I had a job I would buy reptiworms, feed 60 a day for two weeks and it worked out very nicely. Reptiworms, the company, has very good service. Once I ordered 250 and only got around 200. I told them and they gave me around 100 more the next time I ordered. They're very clean and last a long time, plus i've never had any die.
Do a search on the site, their are tons of threads on starting a roach colony with all the supplies you need and any questions you can think of. When your dragon gets older you can just sell off any extra roaches you have and make some money

This. Repti-worms are cheaper than store-bought crickets, especially once you throw in the 20% off (something phoenix worms does not offer). Sartharion used to inhale them, then I started feeding him dubias - now he's not so keen on his worms when he knows there are roaches to be had, lol.
I just bought 1500 small reptiworms for $40 for my little guy and he loves them. He is around 7 inches head to tail, anything bigger than that id go with mediums or larges. Reptiworms is where its at

Yeah if you put them in the fidge which is at 40 degrees they will dies, but if you use a wine fridge where you can turn it to 50 to 60 they will be fine
