Well, as some of you may know, my little beardie hasnt pooped for over 4 days. he pooped a little this morning, which was half urate half poop. so my mom made me call them(even tho i know they suck at education). this is about how our convo went on-
Me: yes, my beardie hasnt pooped since thursday. he pooped a little this morning but not very much. and he's been getting an increase of about 5 crickets a day since thursday. he had 40 crickets yesterday.
Them: 40 crickets? you feeding them the large cricks?
Me: no, the small to medium sized ones.
Them: you should really switch to the large cricks, your going to go broke with the small ones. What kind of substrate are you using?
Me: paper towels
Them: ooohhh. thats a big problem. they can ingest the paper towels and impact them, much like sand. they could go after the cricket and get paper towel.
Me: thats impossible because i feed him in a different tank, and i would see where he took a bite of the towel.
Them: hmm, he's been acting fine then?
Me: yes.
Them: okay, well i would watch him for the next couple of days. but i really recommend switching to the large crickets.
Me: okay, thank you bye.
problems with what she told me?
1: i guess i feed him the right sized wrong sized cricks? i guess maybe their supposed to be as big as the beardies head itself? hmm, dumbass. rule of thumb, no bigger than the width between their eyes.
2: paper towels dangerous? its the safest thing for babies. go look it up stupid person. and you tell me sand is bad also, yet you have sand in your damn beardie tank.
what a dummy.. i should go down there and give them a link to this website and tell them to read this website. or just knock some sense into them.
