crickets?

jaflores85 Sep 11, 2007 09:08 PM

i've had my beardies since july 15 and they are about 14 to 15 inches long now and are voracious eaters. my best guess is they eat about 30 to 40 1/4 to 1/2inch crickets between the 2 of them a day. i also started buying 1 inch crickets and they eat about 24 of those a day between them. they also touch they're greens and veggies about once a day. i buy about 100 1/4 to 1/2 inch crickets every 3 to 4 days for $5 and realized that making a run to the pet store so often has become an expensive habit. i also have 3 other animals that consist of crickets in there diet but not nearly as much as the beardies. i was thinking about purchasing cricket's from these internet sites that offer them for $20 1000 crickets shipping included. But before i do that my question is am i properly feeding my beardies the right amount of crickets a day or am i over feeding them or even under feeding them for that matter? any useful information on feeding, buying, and keeping crickets would be very helpful. Thank you

everything your doing is fine. i see nothing wrong with your methods. i have 9 of my own soon to be many more(gravid female)i get my crackets from LLLreptile.com for 16.99 for 1000 includes shipping. if u look around u might find more for less. i did know of a place for 1000 at only 10.99 but sometimes you can get parasites from badly kept crickets. so i stick with what i know is good. any more ?'s please feel free to call me my number is below. yes im in orlando but dont worry about time i am up all night and day..im an insomniac
