Please don't listen to ANY info given out by pet shops, they are usually wrong. I can't get over the mis-information that's given out. My hubby used to work in a petshop part-time and had care sheets for the beardies and geckos he took care of, and was always in fights with the manager as he always wanted to do the wrong things & not feed the baby dragons what they needed. The pet shop I've been going to for 6 years has recently started listening to me, it's just that it costs them $ to give the beardies the right lights, etc, so they don't. I just get so upset about it all, I just do what I can. I wish there was a way to get these shops to care for their reptiles the way they're supposed to and I really don't know where they get all these bad ideas from. Sorry for venting, it's a sore point!
I havent really looked into the bulk crix yet as I still have an ant problem to deal with - In the course of an evening I lost almost all of my last purchase of 150 crix to Pharaoh ants. So I cant commit to a larger supply of them yet until I get that issue resolved.
Petsmart had HUGE horn worms this week and I bought 10 of them and they squirted everywhere!!! They were soooo big the dragons had to eat them length wise instead of chomping them in half or eating them in one bite. They ate them the way snakes eat their food... It was awesome!
Ya, I figured the info about the earth worms and such was wrong - I recall reading something about the slime they coat themselves in being 'icky' for the dragons - sort of like humans drinking unclean water from a stream or something... Glad I was right and didnt jump the gun on that!!! hahahaha
Thanks for the info - and vent away - I dont mind hearing a spirited tirade about beardies. Its nice to hear some one elses passion for them is like mine.
