Crickets hurting beardie

[rybreadd33]

Can a cricket hurt the beardie while he sleeps if he didn't eat all of them and some are left? Cause there crawling on him idk if that's bad

Yes crickets can bite them while they are sleeping. It's best to take any uneaten ones out before the lights go out.

Yes crickets will chew on lizards and cause real damage especially if there is no food for the crickets in the enclosure. Remove uneaten crickets and keep them in a different enclosure or cricket keeper.

Yep they do bite and they will. Take any un eaten crix out after 15 mins

I feel my beardies in an empty storage container that way the crickets can hide in their enclosure.

Definitely follow the advice given here. Also, it's extra stress for your dragon if they have crickets crawling around on them!

Its a good idea to leave the greens/veggies in for your dragon at all times anyway, and that will alleviate any worries about the crickets too. They only gnaw on the dragon when they have nothing else to eat
