Another feeding question

Schizmsgrl Jan 14, 2005 06:09 AM

Hello pesky me again!! lol

I have yet another question here, in an earlier post I had asked if I could give Gypsy mealies, and Eve had told me that was okay...I dont believe my local pet store sells them, and the site I usually buy my crix from sells a minimum of 1000 mealies! I dont want to buy that many yet, scince I am not sure that gypsy will like them.

However,Iwas looking at a link that you posted eve , reptiledepot, and found that they sell "Butterworms" 20 for 4 bux!! now my question is, are those also ok too feed her??

Thanks as always!! ~Schizmsgrl~

fattening more like a treat. But they usually love them.

Don't worry about agamas eating worms. The only issue will be cutting them off. They will eat them all! lol. But yea, 1000 is too many for 1 lizard. But if you could find them in 500 or even better 250 quantity, they are extremely hearty. I bought 1000 1 time and almost all of them lived all the way through. It was like a month! I have 2 big lizards that actually make such a purchase ok. But if you find a pet store that sells them, they will want like $2.50 for 25 which is robbery compared to buying in bulk. But, maybe it would be ok for just 1 lizard. But yea, your little girl will eat them!

Oh yeah and btw, thanks mike I meant to reply to this a while ago, but spaced it out...lol And I know what you mean about price, when i first got gypsy I was buying crix from the petstore @ .35 cents each!! Then I found a place online to get them...Now I buy 500 at a time and it only costs 19.95 Including shipping!! YEAH!

So I figure when gypsy's appitite picks up again, and if she likes the mealies I bought her the other day, then i will order those online also...The only way too go!

Anyhow, thanks again and take care, ~Schizmsgrl~
