God coming back to the forum to hear this is hard. I looked forward to the little bit of info you shared of both your lives during your holiday cards but also through the forum. I am so so sorry Jann. Take your time. Focus on what makes you happy. Remember he would want you to be happy.
Hi Jann! Its great to see you. I will need to give you my new address for your letters (don't let me forget) lol. Yeah i am excited to be back, be functional, and moving forward with life again <3
How is everyone at yours?
So... this may be a question with no answer. But i do wonder if feeding things like repashy or a multivit supplement in small doses to feeder insects is safe or even changes things? It hasn't impacted my colonies over the years I have done it but they get maybe 1/8 of a teaspoon every week or...
Thanks so much for the congrats Jeremy. Neptune is just a few months shy of turning 10 years old so I am sure the adjustment will be a big one for him but I am very hopeful he will settle in and enjoy it quickly.
Hey guys! Its been ages once more. Life decided to make it hard and i dropped off the face of the earth a bit... again lol.
Anyways, we are moving and thus deciding to upgrade a lot of enclosures. One of the upgrades is my chameleon cage. I still have Neptune and am hoping the grumpy boy will...
Differentialis are legal. Aphis is hard for me to understand as far as whether that means i still need a certificate to ship them because idk if they are still considered a pest under different circumstances. Grasshoppers of any sort have just recently been okayed to ship at all from what i know
you are pretty much doing what you are supposed to. I would order a full extra set of hoppers and use them as your breeders. I am currently using around 20 individuals. It sounds like the babies went through diapause on their own. The ova they hatch from won't hatch super fast 30 days is a...
Ive had some great success with breeding the differentialis. They aren't super picky with the foods i have offered. I offer lettuces, mustards, kale, clover, and pea sprouts. What are you struggling with? Might be able to help before sauceghandi gets here
This is mostly a question for @SauceGandhi but generally anyone who sells their grasshoppers in the US is welcome. Whith differentialis species i imagine from the way they are laying for me right now even with diapause i will have more than i can feed off with my invert eaters. Does shipping...
I feel like when they are sick they tend to run lower than higher too. They stick in their basking level and uvb a lot more.
Also recommend taking your boys out on a sunny day if you can @Dexter’s Mom sunshine has always done wonders when my babies get sick.
I have also had some very special individuals too that needed... different care than the norm. But they weren't veileds. But i get what you ment before where it can be on a cham to cham basis. Its hard to know what is good for your individual sometimes. But i think from your explanation he was...
If he wasn't showing signs of illness before i would say you were doing fine especially since he went down hill so fast. I have had a couple veileds and even rehabbed very sick veileds on this type of schedule. They all did just fine. Also they get ouside time when we get a change and if...
You are so welcome. You shouldnt have any issue finding bulbs for reptiles. I don't at least. You may not need 75 watts i have currently reduced to 60 watts because its been summer but i live in cali
