Pellet foods & Cricket Quencher

WillHayward Jul 19, 2005 10:55 PM

I would like to train Jane and John to eat pellet food so that they could still eat if I am delayed at work or away for the night. They are both 9 weeks old or so.

They eat crickets, and some fruits and veggies. But have never touched the pellets even after I tried to hand feed them it. Not even if I mix it with their other foods.

Any tips, comment and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is it safe to have a little bit of 'Cricket Quencher jelly' in the cage to make sure the crickets stay out of the water and stay off the bearded dragons?

i have 2 beardies and it was tricky to get them to eat the pellot food at first, i mix it in with their fruit and veggies. eventually they should begin to eat it.
