Hey all,
We'll be getting a central beardie hatchie sometime in the next few weeks, so I went to the shop today to buy some calcium and vitamins etc, and while I was there I checked out the price of crix and other prey items. I thought the attendant was yanking my chain when she told me it was $6.50 for a tub of about 15 crickets, $13 for 10 silkworms, $6.50 for a teensy little tub of what looked like sawdust but was apparently mealworms, and I can't remember how much the woodies were because I'd stopped paying attention by then.
I'll be buggered if I'm going to spend like $100 a week on crix for my beardie for the next 10 years.
So I'm just wondering what would be the best insect to breed for a juvie bearded, and how I would go about aquiring and breeding them? I've read that it's not a good idea to feed woodies to hatchies because they're too hard for them to eat.
