Really? I would honestly love to raise silkworms because I know they are an excellent feeder and don't sink like crickets, but I have no idea how to go about it. I've tried reading up on it, but people make it so complicated. Would you mind sharing your set up with me?

Or maybe not, since there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his appetite. Maybe he's just realized that a warm human is a nice thing to cuddle up with on a cold winter day.
<<< I think he's finally coming around .... all my lizards love snuggles off daddy and mommy, just him took a while longer than the rest to come around , he's still pretty energetic as are the others (despite it being mid winter here = I blame the house being airconed 24/7 and never cooler than 22oC even on the coldest night)..
Our beardie usually gets wiggly after a fairly short cuddle in the morning or in the middle of the day (even if he was previously doing his "get me out of this little glass box" dance in his tank just before we took him out), but we can often get away with a much longer snuggle at bedtime when he's nice and sleepy, just as long as the lights in the room aren't bright enough to keep him awake.
TV watching and beardie cuddling go well together. :love5:

<<< they just started doing it, and got rewarded by daddy with some petting and this reinforced the behavior.
A nice warm sunbeam or a nice warm human are probably both good for digestion.

Meanwhile, we got some fairly cheap rubber mat tiles that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and put a "band-aid" on the "high traffic areas" to prevent further damage. :roll:
But it just now occurred to me that the stuff might be a little more comfortable than the cold hard linoleum floor for a reptile to run around on... I'll have to give that some more thought. :?
