Can my beardies eat these instead of crickets? They love the Phoenix worms but don't even look at crickets. Also I'm starting a dubia colony so eventually I hope to be rid of crickets all together. But for now can I feed Phoenix as my staple?
Thanks, like my post says I'm starting a dubia colony so hopefully it takes off soon then I'll be feeding roaches mainly with the occasional horn worm or Phoenix worm or etc.
Also since your not supposed to keep them in the fridge how else can I keep them like 60 degrees? I mean it's basically summer here and the temps in my house are 79. I want to order a bunch in bulk but don't want them growing them too fast!
Wine cooler, plain ole cooler with ice packs, there's a few ways to do it. Check your fridge as well, stick a thermometer in the door for example. Some fridges are a bit warmer than others, and the door is often the warmest part of the fridge. This also works for waxworms - they don't always do well in the fridge, but if it's a "warm" fridge, they'll still be wiggly and perfect.
LLLReptiles I used the ice chest idea. I got a small ice chest from the garage and put an ice pack in it and got it to stay at 66 degrees, is that cool enough?
Yeah but I plan to order to 5 k so they will have to last a tad longer than 3 weeks. But good news I used a different ice pack today and it's now 60 so I think I'm good.
