They probably aren't too bad, however anything that is cooked loses nutritional value so they probably aren't as good as live feeders. I don't think Spike would eat something dead out of a can, he requires his feeders to run around screaming before he crushes the life out of their little bodies and consumes them.

The first 4 beardies we've had were the same way, they wouldn't go after any thing that wasn't moving. This includes the greens. We would have to trick them into eating the greens by putting them in their mouths when they were gaping.

Speedy and Zoom Zoom tend to eat the greens from their bowls when they are of a mind to. They will, however, eat the collards, bok choy or turnip greens if they are hungry enough. They are still babies, tho Speedy seems to be almost in the juvie stage.

i spend so much money on crickets, it c-r-a-z-y, i buy almost 200 crix a week and that cost me about 25$. Is there anyway to buy them cheaper, but not buy bulk and not pay big amounts on shipping?

I fed mine some of those crickets for like the first two months I had my bearded dragon. If he' older than that buy some large crickets instead. The only thing you'll have to make them move so he can think they're alive. I never had a problem with those crickets, my beardie seams healthy and I spent approximatly 30$ a month.

that's what i did at least. and he lets me buy at bulk price but only about 100 at a time.

What do you consider bulk? You can get 500 crickets, delivered for $25. I get them and keep them in a 10 gallon tank.
