DorgEndo":jzwryfm2 said:Finley is an adult dragon right. You know the general guideline that an adult should have 80/20 in favor of plants of over bugs. That works down to 1.4 days per week with an insect meal. Or another way to have the math make sense would be Week A 1 day with insects, Week B 2 days with insects, then alternate between A and B. That way you can get insects every other week and limit how much time you need to devote to keeping them alive between meals. In Minnesota if I go to one of the major pet stores crickets are 12 cents each. Live foods are objectively better for dragons. Personally I get the small size crickets because they live longer, not the big ones that tend to die quickly, then I feed them in a critter keeper some scrap food with fruit or a damp paper towel for moisture. I wonder how may insects Finley is eating that cost for the most economic feeder insect is a problem

Please keep in mind that I am not an adult and even tho I can legally get a job now, there are complications in my life that make it impossible for me to get a a job until I can drive myself and I can’t do that until I’m 16. My parents are buying Finley’s food for me and they refuse to keep any feeders but crickets in our house. I live in a vary small town and the only local pet store is a small petco and the crickets there are 15 cents per cricket. Even the small ones from there have half of them die in the tank with proper care. Finley is a year and 3 months old and he eats about 75 crickets per week and my parents keep telling me I spend too much in my pets. They’re going through a hard financial time currently and I really need to use the cheapest option. I used to babysit and I got twenty dollars a week I would use to buy his crickets but now the home group I did childcare for doesn't need childcare so I have no source of money for myself. If I can’t feed freeze dried can someone please tell me the cheapest option?
no.Finleythebeardie":29rf7n89 said:I’d probably buy 75 a month and ten only place I could keep them would be in my room. My room isnt the largest and I have Finley and a rabbit in there. I heard That I need to keep them in a well ventilated room. Would the dust from the Frass effect me since I would have to keep them in my room?
