Hi,
I have a handful of beardie hatchlings and have been ordering the crickets off the Internet. In the boxes with the crickets are these small furry looking bugs, which I have found are Dermestids. After a quick look over the Internet, some people claim they eat the cricket poop/waste whilst others claim they are actually a threat to the live crickets...

1. Do I take them out of the container I have for the crickets, and

2. Can I feed them to my hatchlings? A couple of them have already slipped through and they go mad for them - more than the crickets!

Thanks :)

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!
