Naw thats each feeding and yea i coating and gutloading them both of them are zoo med i know the UVB is a 10.0 repitsun forgot i name of the basking bout a 100watts is that to bright i also have the light that push out heat put no lite
now i know that leaving crickets in the viv with your beardie isnt supposed to be but i do it every day for mine since i get home later from work and he gets a bit of a later suppper and i've never found there to be a problem with it, from what i've read its just the crickets tryin to munch on the little guy eh?
For those of you who work all day, why don't you order some Phoenix worms. They can't climb unless they are wet and you can put them in a shallow ceramic bowl for your dragons to eat while you are gone and throw in a little bit of mustard greens (torn up small). My dragons will eat their salad and worms because everything is moving. Then when you get home at night you can feed crickets.
keschete had a good point about getting phoenix worms. But, if you want to stick with the crickets, get a big plastic storage container. ( put shelf liner in mine because he didn't like the slick bottom) then put your dusted crickets in there. When he is done eating all you have to do is dump the leftover crickets back in the cricket keeper. I hate touching them too. Might work for your wife?
Aye both of them were get idea and i did order sum PW they b here mon ot tues but thank for the help how many worms should i give him and im nt suppose to dust they rite
