locust?

[Joshandmushu]

can a 4 month old beardie eat small locust and would you say a 4 month old beardie counts as a grown-on beardie or a juvy

 

[killzinus]

i think so. just as long as the locust is smaller than the space between your dragons eyes.

 

[spyder79]

No a 4 month old beardie is not considered grown. At 4 months he would be considered a Juvie. And as long as the hopper is not bigger than the dragons head length wise and main body of the hopper is comparable to the space between your dragon's eyes then you are fine.

 

[Joshandmushu]

no not grown grown-on which means he's not fully grown but grown on past being a baby

 

[Joshandmushu]

these are the size of the locust soz bit blurry

heres my boy (not recent pic)

hard to tell from the pictures. you really should just measure the space between your dragon's eyes and make sure that it is bigger than the length of the locusts.

 

[Joshandmushu]

but locust are quite skinny and their chitin(apart from the legs) seem quite soft so i thought that the "space between the eyes measurement" doesn't matter for locust.

 

[DoubleJ]

I still use that measurement. Better safe than sorry I think.

 

[Joshandmushu]

yeah I guess so bu t wen i feed him locust it will only be one locust.

 

[nair88]

why only one? just a treat or something?

 

[DoubleJ]

Same :?: as nair. Locusts are ok to feed pretty regular, they don't need to be given just as a treat.

 

[Joshandmushu]

no i feed him the locust with crickets as well kind of like the locust is the burger and the crix are the chips lol :lol:
