crickit shortage

[tgolden]

So here is my problem. The two pet stores i buy my crix from are out till later this week, i ordered some on line but they will not be here till tuesday morning. My beardie is only a few months old. Will him/her only having greens and veggies no crix for a couple of days cause problems? stunted growth, club feet, gingavitis?

Going a couple days with no bugs won't cause any problems except maybe a upset dragon.

i would be upset to lol i feel bad over this, it never cross my mind the pet store would run out

Our pet store always runs out of crickets, just another reason to raise roaches. Do they have waxworms or mealworms? Either would be ok feeders for a couple days. Mealies can be feed to older dragons as long as they digest them well.

The only live feeders they have are crix, my girlfriend would kill me if started roach farm lol

Another feeder that you could keep on hand is micro superworms (depending on how big your beardie is, these things are SMALL). The roaches really aren't that bad, I'm a very girly girl and can handle them lol. The small ones just look like roly pollies.

Are they ez to keep alive?

 

[spurlee01]

Yup, both are easy to keep alive.
