Any suggestions on how to accomplish this if--like Z--they won't eat anything that's not moving?Claudiusx":t5x1v365 said:Keep baby food on hand. This can be readily eaten by beardies.
Yeah, they catch on fast... :lol:McBeck":25so62we said:I have had limited success waving things around on tongs, but she seems to be on to that ploy....
Gotta add, just today found mold on carrot in supers that was put in Thurs. But I also have a lid with holes in it cause of cats. It's been warm the last few days with occasional light showers. I'm guessing humidity is up. After getting everything cleaned and fresh oatmeal, will replace carrot once a week instead of twice. Supers are fine and fat, just had some mold on carrot pieces, but tossed everything but the worms. Have kept supers since Dec 5 with no issues at all. They do molt, as they get fatter. But yeah, they last and easy to keep.AHBD":4pxop1ik said:Littlebuddysmama, how big and how old is your dragons ? Remember to offer greens as well, for a sub- adult or larger juvenile that can really help fill them up. Dragons kept in the U.S as pets are often over -fed and so you might be able to cut back on the live feeders depending on her size as well as the size of the insects. And definitely get a bunch of superworms. Set up n a plastic tote with no lid [ they can not escape ] with some oatmeal or bran, a sweet potato or carrot cut in to 1/4 's . Just check to see that no veggies get moldy but they rarely do. To gut load them you can offer the supers a handful of greens the day before feeding them to your dragon. Superworms kept at room temp. , around low 70's or even a bit higher will live a long time.
I've got my supers in old plastic BSFL tubs from Symton. The supers reared up on top of the oats, and ate the plastic around the holes, enlarging them enough to crawl through (~1/32" to ~1/4").DragonPete":jg71r2kc said:But I also have a lid with holes in it cause of cats.
Mine has about 8 inches from the oats to the top so no chance of them getting close enough to get to the lid. There's about 4 inches of torn brown paper strips on the oats but they still can't stretch another 4-5 inches to the lid. Have lid off now to keep it dryer and put the whole thing in a cabinet so cats can't get to it. Checked on it a couple times to make sure they can't climb it. Been using this container the whole time. Thinking it should be ok.MrSpectrum":2pcjtnm4 said:I've got my supers in old plastic BSFL tubs from Symton.

So I put the tubs in a larger shiny plastic bin, and they're able to climb/crawl out of that.
None that I'm aware of; freezing breaks down the cell structure. Most anything thawed out will likely be wilted/mushy. This usually won't affect nutritional value short-term, but I have no idea how a BD might react.Tasnene":1sbmydhd said:Hi everyone I was just going to ask this question..... what greens will last in the freezer?
Some feed thawed frozen vegetables (e.g. squash) & fruits--Check the list. Some feed jarred baby food. There are currently threads about using rabbit pellets.Tasnene":11heex1e said:So If they decide to locked down everything, do I just feed her bugs? Is there anything I can replace salad with temporarily?
