Mine is doing the exact same thing, what are you feeding him with the syringe? Mine has been losing a lot of weight recently as well and he hasn't pooped more than just a tiny amount with urea. I'm trying to syringe feed him glucerna, hoping that works

Is it ok to leave them in sand till they hatch or do I NEED vermiculite?

I'm afraid if I set up a misting system that I'll end up flooding their cages lol

I use a spray bottle on occasion but I only use it maybe 3 times a week, and I usually just spray down the whole cage from the top. Nothing prolonged really

You think totally dry would be ok? I have the air conditioner set at 69 all the time in here and I'd hate for them to be too dry

Btw I love your setup, what type of plant is that?

I use the humidifier constantly for 2 reasons really, first to keep their cages humidity up, but also for watering purposes. Some of the fog ends up collecting on the cage and falls like rain onto some foliage that I placed somewhat strategically to catch and divert the excess to the potted...

The cage on the right has black plastic on the side of it to keep them from being able to see each other, also this picture was taken before I completely finished putting in all the foliage in lol, good catch

Just looking for feedback from you guys on my new setups for my veiled's, I'm using 100w incandescent bulbs and 5.0 uvb's in each 24x24x48 cage, I keep the humidifier running constantly keeping them around 60-70% humidity and around 85-90F at the basking spots in both cages with live pothos in...

This is her setup

Ok so for a bit of an update, she did end up passing some sand (about half a tsp) and she seems totally fine. I ended filling a 3 gallon plant potter with moist aand and am leaving it in her cage, she doesn't seem to be interested anymore. I am now feeding my crickets a mixture of cricket...

Should I switch the lay bin to organic potting soil?

Nothing in there but sand and yes plenty of times, she was definitely enjoying something in the bowl because everytime she sees the bowl now she comes running

She started by shooting her tongue at the sand then when she got in the bowl she began biting it, I can say I never saw her get a mouthful of sand but it definitely looked like she was eating some. And the bowl is only so I can see when she starts digging, then I will put in something bigger

I can't see her being low on calcium, I literally dust her food ever time I feed her, twice a day. Could it be a different vitamin/mineral she's missing?

I kinda wish I never got a female, there's no concrete way to know if she's gravid or not....I'm really getting tired of worrying about her :(

I honestly don't know if the sand is passing through her yet, yesterday was the first day I left the bin in her cage. I blended up a bunch of oranges, bananas, green beans, bell pepper, and lettuce and froze them in ice cubes for later use. Seems like the crickets like it...you think that'll help?

Also I just realized it looks like I said I dust the crickets with calcium once a month....I dust them with calc every time I feed and reptivite multivitamin once a month

So when I started raising my own crickets I was feeding them a lot of different veggies but it seemed like 75-80% of it was going to waste and drying out so I stopped using them, the multivitamin I mentioned is reptivite, could I just use that more often to supplement the veggies? yes when she...

I use flukers orange cubes and flukers dry high calcium cricket food and dust the crickets with calcium (no d3). Probably once a month I use a multi vitamin powder to dust the crickets with
