    Hiya! I’m the dad of a beautiful 6m old baby Snow X Pastel Hypo morph called Haku! She’s my absolute world already and only had her a week! I got given crickets with her but they keep escaping both in and out the Viv and they are too noisy for my flat so I’ve barely slept, they smell (even...

    Can Beardies Live Off of Freeze-Dried Crickets?

    I had been researching various feeders when I came across a few issues. One: I live in a very harsh climate with random temperature drops. This means that any feeders I order probably won't make it. My local pet stores only sell crickets in packs of one or two servings. The next problem is that...

    Canned crickets?

    Ive been trying some alternatives lately such as dubia roaches and new vegetables too, but I haven't really noticed canned crickets until recently. Not having to deal with live bugs all the time would be a godsend does anyone have experience with these, and can they replace live insects...

    WORMS IN MEAL CRICKETS?!?!?!

    Hi, so I'm kind of freaking out here. So I usually get my meal crickets from the pets store, and I have never had an issue. I buy them weekly, 6 dozen at a time. I noticed this last batch I bought yesterday were slow moving, some were dead, etc. I thought maybe it's because I left them in the...

    Isopods with Crickets?

    I do not have a cricket colony, I just buy what I need once a week. I’ve recently started an isopod colony (just for fun). I’m wondering if I could house my crickets in with the isopods? Would save me from cleaning the tank every week and maybe they wouldn’t stink so bad. Thanks in advance!

    Is there another alternative to crickets or dubias for a 4 month old beardie, when it comes to protein? I'd like something i can breed in house. I've been doing crickets, but I hate the noise and the jumping. My wife wont go for dubias being in the house (No garage). I've got a small breeding...

    Beardie won’t eat veggies, or live bugs

    Hey y’all, My beardie is just about to hit the year old mark. I (sort of) rescued him about 4 months ago, he was in a poor environment where basically all he ate were dead flies and freeze dried crickets and had never been handled whatsoever. When I first got him, he would eat any greens and...

    mail order cricket supplier in California?

    If anyone knows of a mail order cricket supplier in California or on the west coast, please let me know. All of the places I've found are on the east coast. It seems like shipping from closer to home would be best. Thanks!
