bearded dragons

[instar]

I mostly feed mine woodies. I use a takeaway food container as a food dish and have painted a line of Fluon ADI around the top. That stops the roaches from climbing out of the dish and hiding under all the cage decorations.

Thankyou Reptile girl, I never thought of doing that for my frogs till now, always hunting the dam things from under this or that. Good thinking 99 !

I would be nervous about using fluon where the beardies could lick it and I sure wouldn't use it where frogs could get at it, which is basically anywhere in their enclosure.

Take care. Have fun.

Fully agree with some of the comments; 'good-on ya mate' for taking the time to research the imformation to properly care for your bearded's....nothing annoy's me more when one asks a question, without even reading a $10 book....I think with your prior preparation, your going to do very well.....Again, good-on-ya mate, well done.....
Mate that fluron, is great for the application in which your using it, works well, with no adverse reaction to your herps.....i do the same with the monitors.....keeps those roachs in.

Hey Megan
Yep - I reckon you should be FINE with the 4 in the one tub. Just keep your eyes PEELED for any bullying and keep the food coming. Mind you, different lil guys have different personalities, so if you get a killer - don't blame me!! hehehehe. Nah, IMO from my own personal experience, you should be fine.
Also, along with spraying them with water a couple of times a day, also leave a lid with some water in it as a bath.
As for the Fluon, I have been using it for AGES in their feeding containers. No sick lizards here On top of that, when I put the roaches in the feeding container, I then pour in the calcium and shake it around in there. That way the fluon gets a coating of the calcium so that if the lil guys DO lick it, they're more likely to get calcium vs something else.
Good luck hun

Thanx everyone... :mrgreen:
Yeah hopefully i'll go alright with them (i hope i dont get a little killer hehehe)... but if i have any worries you's will be the first to know :mrgreen:
Thanx again.
Cheers.
Take care. Have fun.

Damn you Afro! Sounded like a good idea. Cant risk toxidity from fluon, back to the drawing board!
