You can try running the greens, veggies and fruits through a food processor or cheese shredder. I've just started doing this for Falcor as he picks around the veggies and fruits and just eats his greens....

If you are using yellow (summer), hubbard (green pumpkin), Scallop (button), or spaghetti squash, you are good using whatever amounts as it is considered a good staple. Any other kinds, you may want to look up here: http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html

Something I did that REALLY helped Falcor get used to me handling him is feeding him his crickets in a seperate container. I would get him out and put him in the feeding bin to eat his crickets. This did two things, he associated my hand with something good (feeding time) as well as kept the...

What I do is mix the multivitimin in Falcor's salads Mon-Friday, and then I coat his feeders with the calcium every day (his night feeding only) his first dose of feeders are not coated with anything. That way I don't have to think too much in the mornings... I set up his salads the night...

I'm definately going to try this. I've always hand cut all of Falcor's salads, and its quite the pain, plus he will pick around his veggies and whatnot eating only the greens.... Thanks for the great idea!

I use bug stop from blapticadubia.com just below the top on my bins to keep them from escaping, and I have 5x7 screened cutouts for ventilation.... I guess I could throw a towel or something over them to increase the humidity and just remove it for a couple of hours a day, but remembering that...

ok, so add a few more males and I should be set then.... I use fruits, veggies & water crystals for moisture currently, but I read somewhere that I should be keeping the humidity at 60%, but not to spray the container with water or anything like that, so I was worried.

I think I figured out what works for me... I've been scavaging my feeder bin for adult females to pull out and put in my breeder bin (I'm up to 50 females, 8 males and about 50 little nymphs over the past two weeks :blob5: ) I'm using the "panning method, I put a large stainless bowl down in...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I guess I'm gonna have to figure out a way to dust them now then. lol. I split out all of my adult females (about 25 of them) and about 4 adult males into a seperate bin. I think its about an 18 gallon. I have it in my closet so that they don't get disturbed but...

Lol my daughter flips out if i say the word Roach, so they are called Beetles in our house.... She loves the little ones, but the big ones gross us both out....

I always ordered from ebay and had really good luck with them. Very few DOA, but during the Winter in IL its just expected, lol. The Cricket Factory has 1000 for $21.50 shipping included I also used Chirp N Time and got 1000 for $22 shipped.

Not to take away from any of the other dubia breeders, but I just got a TON of stuff yesterday from BlapticaDubia.com yesterday, and its all great. I got 1000 dubia, 5 lbs food, 8 oz water crystals, feeder bowls for the dubia that they can climb, roach flats (they are flatter than regular egg...

Thanks, I have the feeders, and they are definately better than what I had before, nothing, lol.... Here is my exact setup, and a summary of my above posts: Rubbermaid RoughNeck 31 gallon tote Walgreens Heat Pad by HomeMedics, set on medium, running about 85 degrees give or take a few...

Thanks for the suggestions! I can try the panning thing tonight after I get rid of the possum in my basement, lol. I think I need about the 1-1 1/4 inch ones, but he has downed the few adult males I've managed to knock off of egg crates into his cage like they were nothing, so I don't really...

ok, I've had my dubia colony started for about a month, and it seems to be doing pretty well (if i say so myself, lol) I started out with about 250 dubia from Aaron Pauling and they seem to have multiplied a bit, I haven't counted them, just have seen several babies floating around in there...

Awesome! I'm lookin around at ideas to make him a bigger cage already. I've got him in a 20 gallon tank right now, but I really don't like it. I'm looking at converting an old dresser or TV stand into a viv.... it will be great!

I just got my new baby bd today from Anthony. He is the most adorable little guy ever! He took right to his basking spot and I had to take a pic of it. He was too cute! Anyways, here's Falcor!

Hey everyone. I'm new here and looking at getting a bearded dragon. I had a wonderful little girl that I lost in my divorce (go figure) several years ago, and I just down right miss her. She was my little buddy, and I'm settled now and looking for a new baby to bring into my home. I'm planning...
