Smart lizard. It's definitely in the top three. :laughing6:beardedlady1":tjmtce7w said:So Ranger has decided food is the greatest part of life and has been eating EVERYTHING under the sun.
Smart cricket. Yeah, crickets will do that (along with chirping and stinking). :laughing6: :study:Healthy poops daily. I decided to buy him a doz crickets. He got too lazy for them so I stopped buying them. But with his newly found energy I decided to get a few. I gut loaded them and then dusted them with a calcium, mineral, and vitamin dust. I dropped one in. He ran for it. He was Soo excited! He popped it in his mouth.... And THAT F#¢*ING cricket BIT him!!!! He spit it out and ran away from the cricket. Wtf.... Now he wants NOTHING to do with them. When it comes near him he runs away.
Congratulations! :lol:Well.... I am now the proud owner of a doz gut loaded dusted crickets.
He probably heard or smelled them. I kept green anoles as a kid. As a rule, they like appropriately-sized crickets. :wink:I guess I'll toss them to the wild lizards outside. There's a Green Anole that has been loitering around my bedroom window. I'm sure he will appreciate them.
Y'know... I've never asked him! :lol:Anyone else have a beardie that dislikes crickets??
That just sounds disgusting... That will be a Hard Pass. Lol roaches in a tote ?????KarrieRee":2uyz1lei said:Get some dubia roaches -- they are a better feeder any way easier to take care of and last longer ---- you can order them online get a 10 gallon aquarium or tote feed them dubia food or food you feed your dragon and carrots for hydration

IDK your location, but speaking/typing as one who has had escapes (Northeastern US), they're not like American/Canadian cockroaches. They avoid light, yes, but they are not anywhere near as fast, and cannot reproduce at North American room temperatures--they need 95°F or hotter. They typically only survive a couple/few days before dying/being eaten by a cat, dog, other...beardedlady1":ydi549dl said:No roaches. Not happening. He's never getting them and neither am I. With my luck they will escape and I'll have roaches all over.
I could not have said it better!! Lmao! ? My sentiments exactly. There's plenty of other protein feeders. ?beardedlady1":2eedpq6y said:No roaches. Not happening.

I'd rather have lose crickets or lose supers roaming than a roach... either the sound of a lost cricket chirping at night or a giant Beetle for my cats to play with. But NOT a roach ?? ew.

are those like wax worms? he LOVES wax worms.. I've been on the fence about horn worms... I kinda wanna get one just to see what he thinks about them before buying a cup of them.KarrieRee":251hdkyy said:You need to find some sort of staple for him -- if not the roaches the maybe silk worms-- I know I felt the same way you did at first I was like :bleick: as well but I did try them and they were so much better than the crickets --- they are nothing like the cockroach --- so if you want to try silk worms go w/ those I have a couple of websites if your interested

nope... nope... I live with my mother. nope. he wont even eat Super worm beetles. once they turn to beetles they become his best friends and they die an old age. so we gotta find a staple worm...KarrieRee":v7ll5vmw said:Wax worms are a fatty worm and not good to feed as a staple- you can get discoid roaches in FLA- these roaches are nothing like cockroach- if you would like a website for them I have one
