I'm thinking about purchasing some of these to breed alongside my dubias (and other feeders) to add a bit of variety to my critters diets. However, I have several concerns about them. Because of their size and fast speed, I'd hate for one or even two of these to get out during cleaning or...

I'm having a lot of problems with my superworms dying off at an alarming rate. I had no issues with growing and breeding these guys until I had a grain mite infestation and became sick. Back in October, my husband noticed these little white bugs hanging out on the lid for my superworm beetles...

I just spent an hour and a half sorting through my mealworm bin, sorting out all the dead/half eaten, beetle, pupated larva, and regular meal worms from it. My back hurts from being hunched over the containers and my fingers still smell like mealworm frass. :( I had a system set up where I...

I've been using the recyclable drink trays you get from fast food joints as my egg flats for my dubias, crickets, and hissers. They work pretty well, but only way I can get them is by eating out and I'd like to start cutting back on it. :P It's not exactly healthy and expensive! I've tried...

1) The older gecko that I adopted has decided he no longer likes mealworms. They also don't like superworms and they sort-of stick their noses up at crickets as well. What do? D: When I adopted him, this guy ate mealworms (a few a day; he wasn't much of a glutton) but I've noticed his appetite...

It's been almost two weeks since I took in my two male leopard geckos, and it feels like it's been a month! I'm probably hovering way too much over them both, but I want them to feel comfortable in their new home. I've tried feeding them what I have on hand which is mealworms, superworms, and...

As an occasional treat, I'd like to give my geckos small/medium-sized hornworms. My question for those that feed theirs; do you cut off the actual horn from the worm prior to feeding or let them eat the entire thing as is?

I can't speak for anyone other than myself. My two leopard geckos seem to absolutely love heat lamps. I noticed the week after I adopted them, I went the route of just using a heat mat under their tanks. They had regular appetites and bowl movements, but they seemed so sluggish all the time...

-- Crickets -- Mealworms -- Superworms -- Dubia Roaches Along with looking around locally, I've been looking around online for different places I can order these from and not have to pay an arm and a leg for S&H. I'd much rather order these in bulk to kickstart my feeder colonies, rather than...

Anyone have any suggestions for me? I found BeardedDragon.org , but I was curious if there were any other good websites for Bearded Dragon caretakers. I have a bearded dragon I adopted over the weekend who is suffering from relocation anxiety and I wanted to know if there was anything I could...

Above is a video I found pretty damn helpful on how to grow, care, and maintain your own Dubia roach colony. So far, I have almost everything save for the water crystals and chicken feed, and obviously the roaches themselves. I had a question about dusting the roaches. In the video he explains...
