the lizards are doing fine. water really fills them up. kora drinks almost all of it. kane and koko drink a little when i give them water. i got them drinking off my hand now, it's cool. i don't feed them as much as i used to. i used to put like 30 in the bag, put the calcium on, and dump them all in the cage. now, the 1000 are gone. we are going to the pet store now. i only get about 40 from that. therefore, i have to cut down on the big eating for them or we'll run out in like a day. now, i have the crix in a small container thing. i have stopped the calcium, and i don't have a toliet paper roll thingy so i pick the crix out individually with my hands. to all experts out there, if you buy the thousand, what website and stuff do you go to? i need a lot of crix now, and when i go to the pet store again, should i like alternate and get wax worms? MIKE

things very proud of you !

First don't stop dusting your crickets with calcium, they need that to stay healthy !
With adults, dust the cricks atleast twice a week. Oh and now yours are all old enough to do that.

Put however many you are going to use in a baggie, and shake a small bit of calcuim on them, shake em in baggie, then SERVE,

As far as ordering 1000 crickets online, it sure would be cheaper to do that Mike.

Since you are also in NJ like me, I found a place I like in PA. right over the bridge. I breed crickets myself, but do order superworms.

But since you do not have an email you will have to use the phone number shown on the site I will give you, and CALL in your order ! Or get your Mom to do it !

Here is who I have been using, they come here quick.

http://www.superwormfarm.com/cart/index.cfm

The price is 14.95 for 1000

Hope it helps Mike, Oh and its good you are getting them all to drink, that is very important, so they don't get dehydrated.

I also suggest you open an email for yourself, it is easy go to Yahoo.com or Aol.com any of those and they will have a place where you can open one for free. READ about them.

Start to have good websites saved, with care information, so in your spare time, you can learn, and remember we are always here to help with questions.

Will Wells site is good for you to save :

http://www.mountainboomer.com/crotaphytus/

Do you know how to copy that, and put it up top in the address space across top of page, and then hit enter and it takes you there?

You have a computer, your lucky, I suggest you start to practice, and mess around when you have time, to learn how to navagate and get around on here,

Gets easier as you go Mike, Start with getting an email !
So people can get back to you!

How are you Your Mom and sister, everybody hanging in there ?
