Diet Question For First Time Beardie Owner

[Mediabandit]

Let me know a day or so ahead of time when you are coming to the city and I will hook you up with some different feeders if you want. Just message me on here or on Tacons (H2OhNo) or on SWR (Jaxx) ( I see you posted on there for the first time tonight too). I can get you Hornworms, Butterworms and Silkworms.

I am trying a variety but we are very limited in our small town so i pretty much have to breed my own. so i will pick up 100 of whatever i can find and start a colony. From now on i will only use black and blueberries as a treat. She has salad available 24hrs a day. For her salad she now gets collard, kale, butternut and peppers.

Wow, sorry I didn't get back to you, but I see others did All looks good. I feed mine the occasional hornworm and silkworm as treats. If you are going to breed anything, since we can't get dubia here, do superworms. They take some time to get started but they are easy. Another option is ordering online. I think you have enough reptiles to justify doing that. I order from www.supercricket.ca and my order comes in 3 days with XPress post. As long as the weather is not freezing cold they arrive in good health. It's also a lot cheaper to do that than get the same amount at a pet store.

on a side note is the breeding process the same for silk and hornworms as it is for supers?
For supers I use the flat tackle boxes from walmart and divide up the supers to let them pupae then beetle, then put the beetles in a big long Tupperware dish with bran or oats and some potato or carrot for water untill they die off, then scoop out the dead beatles and let the tiny wigglers grow. I never stop with this cycle so i always have them. Is the process the same?
