NOT so bad...

I will give these to her and hopefully she will continue to eat them.

If she does, then I think I will get more- a bigger batch and attempt a colony but still have enough ready mades to get through the rest of the winter.

I still like them to be called beetles I feel much better with that name

Do they bite?

 

[lindawaz]

I don't think so. I did not touch them but the video's I watched on you tube they had their hands in the bins, really big ones! They just brushed them off of themselves- I am not envisioning myself to be doing that

 

[Symbiot]

No they do not bite, they're harmless.

I had to get rid of my "beetles" because my panther would no longer eat them.

 

[lindawaz]

oh, Thats not good!
Especially if you had a colony in the works

Haha. Lying is healthy in the relationship. (being totaly serious on that one)
If she thinks they are beetles, and it keeps you out of trouble and your cameleons fed.... its all good in the hood! lol

I hear ya on that! Mumms the word

She ate them with gusto again today

LMAO! I got a few 'beetles' and my veiled ate a few. Gave back the rest to the local rep store in trade for the more appealing crickets. Weeks and weeks later (this past week, as a matter of fact) I removed the base of the cage (a sheet of plastic laminate overlayed with a slab of cork) to find that a few of the critters HAD escaped the cup, moved between the two base layers, and GREW UP. My spouse found them, and All Holy Hell broke loose as the dubs made a run for it. I'm laughing again, just remembering the chaos!

Up til then I'd never handled them either, but shook them out of a tube, or moved them around with tweezers. Personally, I don't like handling any of my cham's food because of what may well be on my hands: soap, moisturizer, cooking residue, laundry residue, etc. At least I can sterilize the tweezers with a swish of alcohol.

Technically they are not beetles, but if you spell it like that, and live in a yellow submarine it's all good

I can only imagine how they went down! My beetles are not fully grown. I do not want to touch them now can not imagine at full growth

She ate them again. I left for work early- 5.45am. i put some in her cup and left lights were still off. When I got home they were gone

lol Beetles. Amy and I tell our little 8 year old that they're "beetles". It's amazing how well an 8 year old holds a beetle as opposed to a roach.

I am right with them on that!
