So, like almost everyone else i want one of this seasons gorgeous beardies but they sound like more work than baby humans... feeding twice a day, dusting, calcium, vitamins, chopping up vegies, UV... this is why i'm a snake person... throw a dead rat in once a week. Anyway - I'm determined to at least find out whatever i can before dismissing the idea?
Can you feed hatchling beardies silkworms as their main insect diet instead? Anything less gross than roaches? Read in another thread that crickets aren't such a good idea for hatchlings - and besides they would make an awful racket wouldn't they?
Should i keep it in a large click clack for the first couple of weeks/months? I have a spare fish tank i can use as well- just wasn't sure which was better. Also, how much is feed per week estimated to be?
I've hit the search function and read up on the basic caresheets but as always experience is invaluable.. let me know what you think.
