Good news! Cholula digested the supers she ate last night normally. I'm thinking that they should be fine, but I'll definitely try to feed the ones that have just shed. I'm also going to limit her to only 3 or 4 a day just to stay safe.
Yeah I don't use D3, I just dust with calcium. Keep in mind that you don't have to dust BSFL because of the high calcium content. And also remember that they are also sold under the names reptiworm and phoenix worm. They're pretty inexpensive and they aren't as obnoxious and creepy as crickets...
BSFL makes a great staple because they are really high in calcium. But you can certainly use supers and silkworms as long as you dust them with calcium and D3. You run a bit more of a risk of weight gain with those but if you feed the way you're supposed to, you should be fine. Can you order...
Oddly enough, Cholula doesn't bite them all the way through, just kind of halfway. Then she sits there with it hanging out of her mouth like "how do I even eat this" and then she gulps it down. I'm telling you, these superworms are HUGE. Not bigger than her torso or wider than the space between...
So I recently ordered the beardie sampler combination pack from Rainbow Worms (SMOKING hot deal by the way. Less than 30 bucks for 25 dubias, 250 supers, 100 BSFL, 50 waxworms and 12 hornworms) for Cholula (6, almost 7 months old). I wanted to give her more variety in her diet and I figured this...
I'm glad that your son has taken initiative. These babies need love and attention just like any other animal and a lot of times it's easy to forget that because they aren't furry and warm. I hope he establishes a good relationship with his lizard, they truly are rewarding pets to keep! :)
You could always put her on craigslist and say that you're only rehoming to experienced reptile/beardie owners. I got Cholula through craigslist only because I have owned reptiles my whole life.
You know what? I'm not sure. The people I got her from said that Petco claimed she was 4 months old at time of purchase, but it's rare that petco ever know what they're talking about.
Thanks guys! Quick question; Cholula is supposedly around 5 months based on what the people I got her from said. She's about 8 inches from head to tail and 20g. Is this normal size?
My name is Kamariah and I am the proud owner of a female juvi bearded dragon who I have named Cholula. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and learning everything I need to know about the care and keeping of beardies :)
