Just ordered 400 large BSFL from Basset Cricket Farm via AMAZON.COM. They should arrive between Monday and Thursday of next week.
If it works out alternating between the BSFL and the Butterworms as protein those would be my main two feeders going forward. I do have some small ceramic bowls that I can put into the enclosure to have the BSFL stay in until she wants to eat them or may do them the one at a time method that I use for mealworms using the tongs. Didn't want to get too big or two small an amount to start out in case she doesn't like them.
question though, my house is always maintained about 70-72F for room temps. will that speed up the pupitation time. I know it's about a month for them to all change forms at room temps so just checking I don't have a way to do a wine cooler method to keep them between 50-60F
Also the shipper states they ship in nutrient rich soil so that they don't need to be 'fed'. can that harm beardies and cause impaction? is there a safe way around that, if that could cause impaction to beardies?
