I'm working on my outside enclosure during the down time and have a few questions....



1. Anyone seen DHL's or Solares eating vegetation? If so, I would like to add some to the enclosure and I'm looking for what's needed. I'm planning on Allysum, Dandelions and possibly Desert Willows for starters. Any other suggestions? Any toxic plants I should avoid? BTW....I will be avoiding all spiny things (cactus/roses)....not willing to take the risk.



2. Anyone know where I can get a timed Ant/Cricket dispenser? I'm thinking I would like to place a couple of them in the enclosure and have them dispense prey at some periodic interval. Hope they exist, othewise I'll either need to invent one or bring them in each day to insure they are feeding.



3. What toxic issues (plants, fertilizers, paints, general garden products) should I be watching out for?



Thanks,

Roger
