It’s not super fast but I have a container I kept from some bsfl I bought. I put the container in the bin, use long tongs to pick out the roaches I want, put the lid on before I remove container, no chance of spilling. Take the container to the enclosure and feed.

I saw a video, the girl used paper towel tube, scoop and dump, it worked pretty well.
But i cant get roaches here in Canada, so I'm no expert.

Pick up the carton and tap into a larger tupperware, then grab the ones you want. That seems to work best for me, especially when you have all sizes.

Dragons have their certain taste for greens - most dragons I know eat collards over other - it is something you need to try w/the dragon --- broccoli tends to give upset stomachs and do not recommend

Mine is the opposite...he likes broccoli but won't ever touch collard greens. He'll eat cut up green beans though lol.

Can I sprinkle portions of bugs ahead of time for someone else to feed if i am away?

Picking up my 3 month old tomorrow. If I stick to mostly salad in the mornings, and protein in the evenings. Can someone post a guideline for how many bugs he/she will eat per day? I am picking up some breeding dubias, but should I keep super worms, bsfl available as well. All suggestions welcome

Bugs need to be fed 2-3 times per day use the bsfl as lures to the salad bowl use as many as you want then feed the main staple insect about 1 he later- dust the main insect w/ calcium d 3 ONCE per feeding 5 x per week and vitamins 2 x per week and ONCE per feeding- he's going to eat a lot like 20 or so - at a feeding-after he gets over his relocation stress
