If ur like me and TLDR: bees, wasps, butterflies, ants, stink bugs, centipede/millipedes, assassin beetles, any catapillar really, AND any bug with the coloring of BLACK WHITE YELLOW ORANGE RED= dont eat me im toxic,... I know it’s tempting to catch bugs outside and feed them to your beardie,.... but one bug is NOT worth ur beardies life,....

I never feed outside bugs at all to my dragons- including crickets you dont know if those bugs / insects have been some where in pesticides -- my dragons dont get crickets anyway --- too much hassle to take care of

Crickets can be taken care of lol? I thought their only purpose was to die before you can feed them to your reptile, (ik they can be bred, i tried :(

I started out w/ crickets w/ hiccup the vet I was seeing at the time suggested dubias - I was already sick of the crickets anyway and hiccup didn't really care for the crickets so when I brought dubias home he went nuts for them- blaze has never had crickets his breeder feeds roaches

I stopped using crickets like two weeks ago. The last batch I got were absolutely nuts! And they bit my boyfriend. He loves his Dubias and bsfl.
