Crickets

[Spoon]

Is there a better way to feed my beardie crickets rather than just dropping them in and getting calcium powder all over the repticarpet?

Mine just dives right into her cup and eats them. I can't even shake them into her tank because she's so quick. I recently bought something called a termite hill that you put a fe crickets in and they come out a hole one by one. Mine likes that too because she eats them as soon as they stick their head out the hole!

I've see those too. Think they'll work for small roaches?

 

[PatsyB]

Not sure, they might. The hole would be big enough for small ones to get through.

I feed mine in a seperate tub or by hand, getting calcim all over my fingers. Though in the fight in getting it off your fingers and the stupid carpet, finger wins, by a looooooong shot.

Here's a quick video of the termite mound.

I do the same. I put them in a seperate tub. Easy to wash out and none of the crickets have a place to hide. Much easier to keep track of how much he is eating. Plus taking him out for live feeds shows him that he has to come with me to eat. I think it's helped him to stop biteing me.

Yep that is a good trust bonding activity
