in the morning after feeding reggie i put his leftover insects in his salad. i know he eats some of them and i assume that means he ends up accidentally eating the salad as well. I put in bsfl, dubias, and crickets. the bsfl and dubias cant escape the bowl but i have to remove the crickets back legs. I just discovered that his crickets are able to escape without there back legs. i think they use the other bugs to boost themselves up. crickets are his favorite so i still want to add them but i have to remove pretty much all there legs for that. I was wondering if canned crickets would be ok just as a salad topper? it wouldnt replace his live crickets just help entice him for salads. hes around 8 weeks old and 5 inches long. i know live is best for them but I was wondering if it could still be used as a topper or if there are other problems with canned other than less nutrition?

You can---- see how long he goes for those canned ones versus the live ones-

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
