Where can I buy cockroaches from, to add more variety to my dragons diet?

Where can I buy cockroaches. Bio supply no longer sell them due to low demand. I am looking for a change of bug for my bearded dragon.

Be okay if she would eat the salad. Feed seperate container, that way I know the quantity, and I don't want crickets hiding in the substrate. Too many places for the bugs to hide in the main habitat. At present eating approx 10 -up to 14 crickets a day.Calium coated. . Last couple of days only 8-9 though. Spitzed daily, and gently bathed x2 weekly.Vit drop x2 weekly on her back.

About what size should a nearly a 2 1/2 mnth old dragon be. Athena's DOB 1/11/09. I worry that she is growing big enough. I still feed her in a sep bin, but some days only wants to eat 5 or 6 med crickets, gives up chasing the others, and scrambles to get out of the bin. topped up later with a flukers cricket or two. Size now approx 17cm nose to tip of tail on the 11/01/09. She seems bright and alert, prefers to have crickets held to her on the forceps. Still picky with vege and fruit. Is offered to her daily, and wriggled under her nose. Still worrried mum to Athena.

Sorry guys, Still does not help re encouraging Beardie to eat vege. Any tricks that would help?

Also having abit of fun breeding crickets too. Doing well with them, they have reached the small stage, Might try and see if local pet shop wants some. Need to grow most on to med. stage for Athena.

OK. Everything is coated in calcium powder. Tried dandelion as well. calcium powder lightly sprinkled on vege mesculum mix.So hopefully on the right track with everything. 1 drop of vit drops on her back x2 weekly as well.

And I spritz water on her daily, especially at the moment as she is shedding her skin as well.

picked her up for $ 400.00.

At this stage, bug feeding is being done in a plastic bin, that way I know she is getting the crickets, and how many, + the fact that none are in the large habitat over night. As soon as she sees me getting the plastic bin ready, she often motors over to the front of the habitat ready and waiting for food.

I am a new beardie owner to little Athena. Only picked her up on the 22nd December. She is now 8 weeks old. And seems to be doing well. But very picky about her vege's.She will eat a couple of slivers of shedded carrot, and bits of banana,strawberry,but only if put under her nose and wiggled. She never goes near her vege dish. In fact spends most of her day way up high happily lazing around on greenery, opp end of heat lamp. How can I get her to be more enthused about her vege's? :-?
