1. Where would the best place to buy crickets be?
With my new beardie, I've been buying a bunch of crickets to feed him from Petco, though 100 smalls is 15 bucks, and since the little dragons are supposed to eat 10-20 a day, that's 15 bucks a week. Is there any online stores to buy them from that maybe have them for a little cheaper? I've heard that, along with live ones, you can feed dead/frozen crickets to them with their salad, so would those be cheaper?
2. Stress marks?
I've heard and read about them on here, and know that they are common in young dragons, but I'm just wondering the causes of stress marks. I have read that they are not always caused by stress, so I'm just curious of the possible causes.
3. How to get them used to handling?
Simple enough, just wondering how to get my dragon used to handling. I've heard that, since he's been with me only about five days, to just let him get used to his cage before handling, but after that, how would anyone suggest to get him used to being handled?
Sorry for the slight length, just wondering about some things, being a first-time dragon owner
