Hi Everyone.....I have a 6 month old beardie, and someone at a pet store told me he was old enough to eat large crickets so I got him some large crickets and he ended up getting a bit constipated so I gave him a warm water bath and he pooped right away in the bath. Basically my problem is I have to get his crickets at Petsmart and they only sell either small or large no medium. The small ones are TOO small for him, they are for the tiny babies and he won't even pay attention to them, but the large ones he likes a lot but im just afraid he will get backed up again. I would order my crickets online but I can't because the packages get sent to the apartment complex office and technically they don't allow reptiles here so they would freak if they found out I had crickets in here. It sucks. I don't know if I should just try to make him eat small crickets or continue to feed him larger crickets and just bathe him more? I was going to another store in my area that had what looked like bigger crickets than the small ones at petsmart but I stopped going to them because #1, they were ripping me off and not giving me what I asked for, and #2, they have a bearded dragon there and refuse to listen to me on how to take care of it because they have absolutely no basking light for it whatsoever and the UVB light is over a screen so that is pretty ineffective and I don't support them if they won't take care of the animal the right way. Petsmart has its problems too but not as bad as this place. Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
