ok, tim did some thinking today lol, and thast nvr good....
well, i got a coupla ideas involving the use of "easy water (concentrate)" by timberline, for those who don't know this product is like well, little granuels that you toss in water and they soak up the water and then yea, you got cricket water, anyways my idea was to use the "calcimize" and joink like that (liquid uv, liquid calcium, etc) in the water that i soak the cubes in, therefore they would really gutload the crickets, lemme know what ya'll think of this....(srry if dis post don't make sense i'm mad tired, plus i'm kinda overwhelmed right now, stupid petsmart fired me, i'm the only one who knows about reptiles there, so yea, i'm worried for the health of a lot of their reptiles, btw if anyone wants to go an complian about the crappy care of reptiles there (its in maryland, off snowden) well yea, feel free to thanks a lot) o yea and one more thing, i've alwyas heard that carrots will improve beardies coloring, i was just wondering (cuz puff wont' eat carrots) if carrot baby food would do the same

That liquid UV stuff can be dangerous, I don't know if I would use it. Yes carrots enhance orange color, if you eat enough of them you'll turn orange too (I had a buddy in college that did this lol) but they have little nutritional value and it's kind of cheating to get a better looking dragon than it actually is (I would look at it like photoshoping an image for false color). Just my opinion

That easy water thing I would be leary of. As for carrots remember to much of any one thing is bad. I defrost frozen mixed veggies , place in chopper and put one spoonful of mixture on top on chopped Kale & collards & turnip greens. sometimes add a small sliver of mango or peach or one rasberry when in season. They like it.
