I don't know about bugs, I have 2 kinds, superworms and dubia. Unless I'm willing to get online bugs, which I can't because I'm never home to have them delivered and they don't mail to Canada.
There are two great places where you can buy variety packs to what you want, too.
Gillian Spence owns Rainbow Mealworms, this is her site
www.rainbowmealworms.net to order.
Linda's Gone Buggy, can't remember her site address, but I'll find it.
Are you on Facebook?You'll find both of them there.
There are a goodly amount of bug sellers in the USA. Not so in Canada. So I've made sure my dubia are well fed and just buy superworms.
I have to count the male/female ratio of my dubia because I have 2 10 gallon tanks. they are easier to heat and put in cabinets or bookcases, so they're not so apparent. Imp might get a few adults. Gabriel likes them, too. A friend walked me home from his place last night, with 5 bags of the massive amound of DVDs he's accumulated from garage sales. So I have tons for my son and grandkids and some for me, too. Anyway, Foster said as he say my living room "you'd have alot more space without the tanks" and I looked at him and said "that's not going to happen". He first said, yes, the dragon lady :lol: when he first saw all the tanks in my living room. He knew about them but it's another thing to live with 7 tanks in your living room :mrgreen: He's a funny guy, nice to have an intelligent friend who's done well in his life, he has a grandson same age as mine. Nothing more, though, I'm not readyLOL
Your girls look beautiful as always, and who cares if they're smaller, easier to snuggle
There is a particular breed of small dragons, they're called Rankins, but your girls don't have the Rankins face, which is almost a baby face; they're different. Your girls are petite dragons and just perfect the way they are. Nathaniel and Cierra were small like them at a year old but they both grew another 3" with me in their 2nd year, so strange. Nathaniel is still my smallest dragon and he'll always be my cowboy, he's the only one that tries to get Gabriel to fight, so he's not out with Gabriel.
Imp and Gabriel have been having a good time, seeing as I've been home and the bigger 3 are all asleep. I have a couple of pictures that show they're not fighting, even though I won't leave Imp out for a long time with Gabriel. Bella watches out for Gabriel, too.
So last day off from work, start back 1/2 days tomorrow, then 6 hours next week and full time the week after. My back keeps giving me grief, plus I have a strong grass allergy, handy when you have to walk a dog LOL. So I've been on and off work for the last year. It's been awful. I can't get anything to calm down. The allergy is under control, finally, took 10 weeks of coughing to finally find a puffer that worked and hopefully grass will go away soon.
My back MRI showed bulging discs, not as back mid back as in my neck. But I have 3 1/2 yrs to go to retirement, I'll just take it a bit at a time. I think my back is stable now, bones seem to move around more than before, so see the chiro all the time. I'm working through it to get it easier to handle, pain wise. All from the motorcycle accident when I was 18, 2 blocks from our very quiet neighbourhood. Getting older just means more to handle.
I'll get there.
