OK, so, after going to great lengths to secure an inexpensive, ongoing food source for Khalil (dubias), Khalil has apparently decided that he is too good for them. Won't touch them any more. He DOES, however, adore butter worms, which cost me $60 a month through Mulberry Farms, which is entirely NOT in my budget. Does anyone have suggestions for other (non-cricket) feeders that I can easily maintain so I don't go broke buying butters? (Will probably cross-post this on bd.org.)

Any suggestions for feeding my beardie on a budget, but with a dubia-level of maintenance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dude I have the same problem. Mine loved dubias for like 3 days and then just started ignoring them. I'm commenting here just to bump it up the list 'cause I'd love to hear some answers as well.

Incidentally, sorta answering my own question, but some other friends have suggested superworms as a possible alternative. Apparently they aren't all that hard to raise, and even if you can't raise them yourself, they're much less expensive than butters. $16.50 + shipping for 1,000 here.

watch for the bd.org deals from Lindasgonebuggie, I got 1000 supers for $10+shipping.

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?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
