run out of crickets for my baby beardy :-s

[Bedella]

Ahhh stupid question perhaps but I went to the pet shop this afternoon to get some more small crickets and they are out... the other shops are shut and the only other one thats open is also out...

my question is - What else can i feed my 2 month old beardie :-s
or will she be alright till tomorrow afternoon?

she has salad which she doesnt like much but will eat. Am i able to give her a little mince or something? or is the best idea to just wait till tomorrow

poor thing is going to hate me such a terrible mother

it will be fine without crickets for a day

mine likes dog food (I use My Dog), some people use that stuff in a roll from the meat fridge in the supermarket. My dragons sometimes go off eating live food for awhile and they are fine.

just wait till tommorrow, she'll have to eat her salad if shes hungry!

dog food is a good way to give ur beardy liver disease.

Just lower the temperature and they'll last a few days with no visual signs of weight loss or anything negative. If you don't have any food it is important to lower temperatures especially for lizards like beardies.
