Crickets hiding in driftwood holes...

[TazzysMamma]

Should I try to seal the holes with something? If so, what would you recommend? Ive noticed they can burrow inside the wood where the dragon cant reach them, and they live a long time that way! LOL

Please advise!

thanks so much!

If you can teach your beardie to eat from a separate container (like a rubbermaid bin), I think that would be ideal. It's amazing where those crickets can hide!

If you like feeding inside the enclosure like I do you can always freeze the crickets for a few min before feeding and drop them in one at a time until your BD stops eating.

Another method that works great is plucking off the back legs of the crickets and leaving them in a shallow dish. they won't be able to climb out and they still run around like crazy

ewww for plucking off their legs. blah!

Maybe you could use some kind of silicon or caulking to plug up the holes.

Thanks everyone, if I cant get him to eat outside the viv, I'll just try plugging the holes then LOL. I do like feeding him in the viv though - we'll see what happens.

Trust me, things become a million times easier when you feed in a separate box. No hiding places, no need to chase crickets around to get them out, easy clean up. So much better. A clear rubbermaid works great. Crickets can't climb the walls of the clear ones.
