A couple questions about feeding Bonnie and Clyde, I feed them twice a day once in the morning and evening. Now I have noticed as I sit there and watch that they ignore their dusted crickets. They will eat them when I remove the terrain pieces and crickets are no longer dusted.

So are they having issue's with the crickets looking the same colour as the sand or are they simply not as hungry??

They will grab the cricket and as soon as they taste the powder they stop eating.

With the picky ones who do that I dust a bit less, and maybe give them the suppliment more often. They do not taste it as much if you use less.

Also I sprinkle it on my crickets food. Are Bonnie and Clyde being good collareds? LOL

Ok I will try the less is more approach with dusting the crickets. I never had thought about putting the dust within the crickets food supply.

Bonnie and Clyde well they are acting like good normal collared lizards, hehe. Though Bonnie does have the 'tude factor in spades over Clyde.

Thanks again Eve
