Hey guys!!

I need something cheaper but still healthy for my baby beardies to eat! The crickets at my local Petsmart are just too expensive to be their main source of protein. Any suggestions?

Yeah bulk crickets are the way to go if you want to continue using them. Premiumcrickets and Armstrong are both reputable. I get worms from lindasgonebuggie. I switched over to dubia roaches as a primary feeder as they are much easier to care for than crickets and once a colony is established it's a replenishing food source. That takes several months to establish though. They are more expensive to buy in bulk than crickets.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
