Hello everyone. I am in a bit of a predicament and I am not sure what to do. I recently moved into a new apartment with a roommate. This house does not have a garage and my roommate really dislikes insects. I can't keep my feeder crickets inside (I am in canada, I cant get dubia roaches). The problem is that it gets really cold in the winter (plus snow and lots of rain) and really hot in the summer, sometimes up to 35+ degrees. I've tried keeping crickets outside on the balcony for a bit and they all died real fast. I don't want to keep the insects in my room either as the crickets tend to be really loud and is a bit smelly.
I found a product made by Repashy called Grub Pie (made for insectivores). Repashy is a great company and is trusted by reptile and fish keepers. I was wondering if I could use grub pie + veggies as a staple? I may have to rehome my beardie if I can't find a way to keep the bugs (been trying, no luck). My roommate is a friend of a friend of mine and kicking her out would be really rude.
I've heard a few people say that they've fed this as a staple because bugs are extremely expensive where they live (NZ)
My beardie is currently a year and a half old, so he doesnt require too many crickets/ mealworms (expensive here). Getting the bugs every week is really expensive. I put the ingredients and such of the Grub Pie at the end of this post. Thank you.
