Hi All,
I got my first bearded dragon at the Castle Hill Expo yesterday and I'm just looking for practical advice. Now by practical, I mean, I've read all the care sheets and know exactly what is needed, now I'm looking for people to share their experience with the 'hows'.
Particularly:
- When it comes to calcium supplements, how do people dust their crickets without:
a) wasting heaps of dust,
b) loosing crickets.
c) taking heaps of time.
If anyone has a process that works particularly well for them, please share. The challenge I face at the moment is that I'd like to offer at least 2 feeds a day, only that I have to leave the house for work at 630. This morning I put him a feeding container and he hit about 3 crickets but he'd only been awake for about 25 mins. I put out some salad (which he ate a fair bit of yesterday afternoon when I got him home) with a little calcium sprinkled on it.
Another thing Ive noticed is that if i put him in the feeding tank with crickets already in there and settled, he'll eat them with no issues, if i then add more, he almost seems scared of them... perhaps theyre a bit too flighty after being dispensed from the tube...
Anyone care to share their routines?
Thanks,
Chris
