I believe they are cleaner bugs --- I will find out if you can feed --
Okay! Thank you!
Thank you! They are from dubiaroaches.com. I will send them an email to find out. This is the second time I’ve ordered from them and I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve gotten so far.
Those are black soldier fly larvae. They sent you a sample for you to try. Very nutritious and great for your beardie! the only commercial feeder that has enough calcium in them such that they don't ever need to be calcium dusted.
Sadie, seriously, are you kidding me??? After 20 years of bearded dragon husbandry and fervently recommending black soldier fly larvae to everyone, you can't identify them in a picture??
Never had them before they are cleaner bugs and can be fed to the dragon----- I haven't had 20 years w/ dragons but know others that have -
So you're here recommending things you've never had before, don't even know what they look like, calling BSFL "cleaner bugs" which in your first post, you had to "find out" if you can even feed to a bearded dragon and now you're trying to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about?? LOLOL
The bugs in the colony of dubias are cleaner bugs not BSFL I have never had a colony of dubias roaches w/ them -- I know what bsfl are there is a difference in bugs- as far as sexing dragons sometimes it's hard to do that when the pics are not clear- I try to help out w/ people that need help- alot of my suggestion/ recommendations come from people who have a lot of knowledge- I am not here to nit pick criticize be mean to people who need help- if I can't help them I reach out to.people who can
There is a picture of BSFL and a post asking what this is. OP described that they are over 1cm long, and labelled 1,000. Either you are trying to worm out of being obviously and embarrassingly wrong or you actually did not understand the question, in which case the issue for you is far far greater than lack on knowledge on bearded dragons and their feeders.
If it's not clear, then say so. Clayton showed a female dragon from an ambiguous position and your post was literally 1 word: "Male." You didn't say it was unclear; you didn't ask for better pictures, just, "Male." Your justification, that you have 2 "male" bearded dragons and they "have the same look" with two random bumps, which are actually just the inner most femoral pores likely raised a bit due to the wax inside. By this logic, if you had 2 sons with short hair, then every person with short hair must be a male. The bottom line is, you did not know how to sex bearded dragons but you jumped in anyway. If other posters hadn't stepped in, Clayton might have went on thinking he had a male dragon and ordered him another female for mating purposes! This doesn't help ANYBODY, and neither does your current post calling BSFL cleaner bugs which you don't know if they can be fed to bearded dragons. If you don't know, then don't help. Silence is MUCH MUCH better an answer than incorrect information.
That's exactly what you did not do. You answered questions to the best of your knowledge even though it was insufficient. 90% of your posts have been about lighting, which I assumed were probably correct although they may paint an incomplete picture. I had to find out from @Clayton0520that you had no idea what you were talking about on the output and the hood types. You've given false information to so many newbies; luckily, someone with chameleon experience called you out.
Thank you! Before I read your post, I received an email back from dubiaroaches.com saying that’s exactly what they were. They look so different from the tiny BSFL that I ordered from flukersfarm. I feel silly that I didn’t know what they were...lol. Thank you for your help though!
