ok its been about 20 days since my leo had his last waxworm, and since i've left 3 crickets and a tub of meal worms in there. so far the crickets have just sat there and got bigger, i even saw them cannabalise a mealworm lol. i've kept fresh veg in there aswell to try and keep the crickets around the same area, but still hasnt eaten any. my brother got his baby bearded dragon today aswell, looks so damn kool, i took a pic or two but i'll post them later. my little guys feaces are looking pretty healthy for him not eating, a little mis-shapen but not withered. but yeah, i was wondering if leo's can survive on maggots, you know the ones used for fishing. my aunt owns a tackle and hunting shop so maggots would be easy to get hold of, and in bulk aswell. my bro said there pretty much just protein, but i dont really want to try it without knowing not to before if you get me. i mean there standard blue bottle maggots, i can even get them in different colours and they look pretty much like baby waxworms, so to me seems like an idea that might work, although i dont want to fill him full of parasites. some insight on the maggots would be nice thanks. also, i was wondering about the size of crickets he should be eating. a book i read said they should be no longer than the length of his head, aswell as takign into consideration the whole size of the cricket, and others say the size between his eyes or half the length of his head. i mean no longer than the length of his head seems good to me, although i never feed him ones that big, but insight onto that aswell would be good
