I'm new too, but I know mealworms can be harsh on their bellies when they're young. It's hard for them to digest the thick exoskeleton. Not too sure about the other stuff though, as I'm looking into the same things myself.
So, call me crazy, but I sure do love buying in bulk (as demonstrated by the ridiculous amounts of toilet paper and paper towel in our house). Anyway, we're ordering some food and I was wondering which of the types of bugs I can put in the fridge to slow their growth. We're going to buy smaller...
I came home today and our little guy had learned a new trick. Here he is caught mid shot going for his crickets, dusted with calcium. It's only been five days, and he comes running when he sees the cup. We move it all around in the cage so he gets a good variety of "hunting" positions. The...
