So I've decided to start buying dubias in bulk online over crickets at the petstore for my 8" long head to tail bearded dragon (around 3 months oldish). His appetite is quite large and the pet store is expensive.
I have a plastic tote, egg flats, roach chow, water crystals, bowls, and a lid for the bin that has a huge hole cut and replaced with screen. Since I'm going to pry buy 500 smalls at a time, maybe 1000 at his eating rate, I'm estimating they will last around maybe a month or two. Do I need to heat the bin they're in? The rooms always at 67ish degrees. I have a zoo med UTH it but it says not to use on plastic like the bin I'm using so....yeah. Will they live without heat long enough? Or should I use a CHE/find a heat mat I can use on plastic?
If it's safe to use my heat mat I have from experience? Stick it to the side of the plastic tub? Or would that still melt it
....haha do let me know! Lol
