I was thinking that I should move my two lone BD babies to the cage with the other 4 babies so that I can just have to worry about one cage and not run the electric bill so high
My questions are:
A: If I were to do this would the babies get into fights, being introduced to a new group? They've already been together once I split them all up once four to a cage, two just died due to impaction. So then the cage will have 6 babies, it's a 55 gallon tank, 4 feet long, 1 foot wide and 2 feet tall.
B: Because of a couple reasons I cannot feed the babies crickets, one is because the small ones for them aren't sold at the local pet shop and shipping cannot be done in the winter. I am trying out some dry foods but they're not taking to them too well. I have sprinkled the calcium powder on the pellets to hopefully attract their attention, failed. I put some water on the pellets thinking they'd eat them wet/soggy, failed. I, just today put lettuce on the food trying to see in they'd eat it maybe by mistake and learn that it's food, failed. I have two different types of dry foods for them, I stopped using one because I got a better reaction from them with the other type of food. So, my question is how do I get them to eat the dry food, or what are some foods that will get the babies to grow? They are 4 months old and still, the largest one being, about 3-4 inches which I know is small for the age.
