Lately Billie has trouble on digesting Phoenix Worms, it came out a whole in her poop. Even thought she loves her PW and I still have approx 500 PW, I have to stop giving her that. Yesterday we were out of crix and butterworms. I have ordered online but it takes a few days. I went to local pet store, but they were outh of crix and I only got 20 very smal crix.
So, today I have to do a trick which I've read from this forum, pinning them (poke PW with needle) before giving them to the Beardie. I know this sounds horrible, gross... especially the worms that I have is a little bit in the smaller side (I ordered medium, somehow most of them is so small).
It takes a lot of time and works. First picking the worm (with tong) shake it to clean it from the substrate, put them on the piece of paper (use newspaper), pinning them one by one, and finally put the worm in to the worm dish.
Anddd,... because I pin them, the worms become wet, and can crawl out from the dish. So I have to put them little by little so Billie will eat the worms before it escapes. I put Billie on the floor, while I'm working on my coffee table. She waited patiently in front of the dish, looking at me... and quickly eat the worms as soon as I put them on the dish... It took about half an hour to do that. and Billie patiently waiting for her more worms.... It's so funny!
