Hi, I have a 2-3 month old beardie that I have been feeding small crickets to as an insect staple food (plus the needed greens etc.)
I live in a small townhome and cannot keep too many crickets at one time so I go and buy about 100 every other day...I am currently paying about .065 cents per cricket.
I recently purchased 600 phoenix worms at about .050 each which is actually cheaper then the crickets as you can see, is it safe to use Phoenix worms as a staple insect for my beardie and not feed him crickets at all?
 
I use reptiworms, which are the same thing, because they are cheaper than crickets. My little guy loves them and has been growing like crazy. Perfectly fine staple.

Phoenixworms are a convenient and healthy staple, I recommend them. Silkworms are a little more expensive but great as a feeder as well.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
