feeder cartons

[charlotte]

hello guys im brand new to beardies but i have a cham, for my cham i made a milk carton feeder works great contains the crix they do not get ot and he can get to them, but totally different tounges my question is have you foud anything like that? my girl wouldnt eat in a seperate tub. ive tried several times. she just wants ot and shes got a ton of crix crawling on her it doesnt look like fun id be stressed too. so for now i stand there dropping them one at a time in front of her so i know theres no more then one or 2 loose.. has anyone figured out anykind of feeder container.?

Hmmm - tough one. You're definitely doing the right thing by not letting the crickets climb all over your dragon. I'm not sure how you could arrange for a feeder container with a bearded dragon though... any ideas folks?

 

[charlotte]

guess no one. sux this forum isnt as active as my other one.

Wish I had an answer for you

I gave up using crickets after a month of messing with them. While my beardies were babies and juvies I fed them reptiworms. And now that they are adults I feed them supers, and also mostly vegies now...

thank you drgnfly.

I used a glass jar when mine was still eating cricks as a staple. She would stick her head inside, eat till she was full and then back up. Worked great

 

[charlotte]

great idea thanks p. as always.

you should try breeding dubias your beardie will love them and also will your cham

live i an apartment right now i could probibly get away with explaining the crix and worms but the roaches nah besides the hunny wont alow it i think id have the heebee geebees too.

Oh C . . . . youll never ever ever be sorry once you start with roaches.
Some of the benefits are they have a higher meat ratio than cricks, thus more nutritious
The dont make a noise AT ALL (unlike cricks)
They dont stink AT ALL (Unlike cricks)
They live forever, some of mine are well over a year old......(Unlike cricks that die within weeks)
They breed without needing encouragement (Really the person who came up with the saying "Breed like bunnies.....has obviously NOT seen roaches) and i have both, roaches and bunnies, so i should know LOL
Saves you tons and tons of money . . . FREE FOOD *Yippeeeeeeee* I havent bought a single feeder in 10 Months. (Except the occasional treat that i do not bred myself)

Any roach will do, I breed Lobsters

 

[P]

And as far as the heebee geebees goes . . . youll get over it. I DID

 

[P]

Oh and i almost forgot, less chance of parasites, as cricks are the largest carrier of parasites
