Hey there, it's me again! I've been buying crickets for a month now, since I've gotten my Cham. I've never had any issue with how they were being held. I have the egg crate in there, and the flukers cricket quencher with fortified calcium. Today, though, there were upwards of 25 crickets. Loose...
Thank you, I'll try hornworms out!
She is about 7 months old, and those things get BIG, so I wasn't sure if that was really an option for me. I guess I just gotta feed them to her when they're super tiny babies :)
She is drinking plenty of water, so at least she is hydrated. In the past day...
I think I might go for the potted plant route, too. Would you mind providing me pictures and step me through how I would go about doing this if it's not too much of a bother? Thank you again!
It sounds like a great idea, just a little scary for me. I think I'll try to do this! Also, I fed her 2 crickets in a cup this morning, which is better than nothing :)
I would have to hatch them? or would it be a possibility to just purchase them? What would you recommend in my case? And thank you for the words of confidence, I'm really hoping I can actually get over my phobia :))
Yes, I definitely meant refrigerate! So... Here's my thing. I'm absolutely terrified of bugs. Is there a surefire method to getting the flying food into the cage, and KEEPING it there? Thanks for dealing with my phobias :)
I really want what's best for Chryssa so this is something I'm looking into. But I'm also a giant wuss when it comes to any type of bugs. I have managed to feed her, but bugs honestly freak me out so much I'm positive I have a phobia. Introducing new organisms into my bedroom (where her cage...
Awesome, thank you so much! I freeze my waxworms and mealworms, can I freeze those worms too? And how would they stay alive through the delivery process? Sorry, I'm kinda clueless.
I ended up buying some waxworms because that's all the store near me was carrying. They're apparently a little higher in nutritional value, but I'm not sure how to feel about it. Where do you guys generally get your worms or just food in general?
I researched what going full bioactive was and this was something I was thinking about doing! It looks great, and it's probably better for my Chryssa anyways. I found a video on it, but the comment section has some mixed reviews. If you could give it a glance and let me know what you think, that...
Oh! One thing that this link mentioned I found quite curious. It said no soil or dirt should be used in her vivarium! I had no idea that was something I should steer away from. I thought it made it easier to retain humidity, and easier to plant real plants. What's your thoughts on this?
Thank you so much for this information! I filled out the form to the best of my ability. I will definitely look into buying some different types of worms. Honestly, I'm just glad she's eating the mealworms as of right now, so she doesn't starve! If I can get her off of the cricket strike, I will...
