Hi, I wanted to know if anyone ever used one of these and how well does it work? I have a 3 month old beardie and I am going out of town for two days... will this work or do I need to get a babysitter? THanks

No, that won't work as a babysitter. I'm not really sure of the point of it. As far as I've ever been able to tell, it doesn't really do much. It's just a glorified container to coat crickets in. It's the same as putting a bunch of crickets in a small container with something to coat them, shaking it up, opening the container, and setting the container in the tank so the crickets can crawl out. All though, I would like to see a automatic fish feeder that type gadget that cold hold a few days worth of crickets.

(BTW does anybody else have problems with the new board. I find my self having to refresh pages all the time to get them to load correctly)

I love this thing and so does my beardie. Put the crickets in, shake a little, and you have white crickets. I put it in the cage and the dragon runs right over. He grabs and eats each cricket as soon as they pop out of the hole. No loose crickets running around in the cage. I always know how many he eats at a time and don't have to worry about crickets hiding in the cage or trying to escape. Best $9 spent so far.
