Your thoughts on canned insects?

[emshep85]

I have absolutely no problem feeding my guys them. I just offer it to the beardies one at a time and they take it. Sometimes I just put it in a bowl and they go to it, so they recognise it as food and eat. They don't have to have it moving. My stumpies are awesome with them too, I just put it all in a bowl and they smell it and off they go. Absolutely no problems with them, and they don't keep me up chirping all night

He's not advertising the product with motives to get it selling, just asking for information. Big difference.

Its like eating tinned vegies, I like them fresh not processed (not saying tinned reptile food is processed)

Nothing like a big guttloaded fat cricket, dusted with fine cal served jumping

If the lizzies were nocturnal it would be easier by adding a night light which would attract the insects to create a smorgasbord for them.

I wonder if you could create some sort of food trap where the lizzies could go in and out of a tub of grubs, but the grubs can't get out. I use fluon around the sides of tubs for keeping colonies of cockroaches - the cockies won't walk on the fluon. Give lizzy a ladder to climb in and out of a tub that keeps the bugs in.

If your worried about feeding them in the pit for escapees, could you feed them in a tank or indoors enclosure? It will help them get more use to more handling too I'd say , if not save you money, or just buy a few boxes of crix and breed some

The lizards I'm talking about are Cunninghams, maybe I should have added that. I'll have a look into breeding

A interesting idea for sure

Are we not allowed to mention brands or products? Or just advertise/selling?

My beardies never liked canned bugs. The smell was also enough for me to think twice about it lol

Christ I nearly vomited at the smell & sight of the canned crickets...yuck!

I would like some clarification on this also treeofgreen as my infraction was because I asked if a specific overseas magazine was any good, which to me is the same as asking about a specific brand name like what was mentioned in the ops first post. But the difference to me is I got dobbed in. I am thinking if it's the case like mine then Mods have to act on it. I can understand the thing about advertising, but to not be able to ask about a product with like minded reptile people makes it hard to know if a product is any good or not.
