Afrikan Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Isnt it 80% live and 20% vegetable and as youngsters shouldn't they be on adlib ie as much as they consume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Water, bearded or TROGDOR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah, as babies, feed them as much as they can eat. A few times a day if possible. 80/20 is good. When older they can eat too much, sort of like us, they get a fat, and stop being so active. Every couple of days is fine, once a day. During their wintering months they may only eat every couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOU1 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 What sort of foods do they eat and how expensive are they to feed and care for? Asking because I am looking at getting a pair of bearded dragons now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 An actual pair, or just two babies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogod Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Sounds expensive if you have to feed them a lot of live food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 expensive if you buy it i geuss, otherwise can be time consuming if you breed your own and then it depends on how much you value your time or how much time you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broms2 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I agree on expensive if buying but after initial breeding stock is sorted I dont find breeding my own expensive or that time consuming, and from what I have witnessed the last couple of days locusts like to breed!

bulldogod Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 How about some pics of your locust breeding tanks so I can get ideas of were to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 alot of stuff you can get out of your own garden,worms,praying mantis,moths,earwigs etc.for just one or two would not be that hard to keep the food up.I gave one of my last years runts that had had its tail tip nipped off by its siblings to a friend.She raised it on earth worms from her garden a culture of mealworms,salads of dandelion,mesculan etc and some commercial pellets(that it did not like)and it is now the biggest heaviest healthy lizard you would find(with a short tail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogod Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 What about breeding and feeding cockroaches to them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 hi guy's, we have four beardie dragons, we feed them mealworms, we bought a 200gm of mealies$12.00 we put them in 4lt ice-cream container full of unprocessed bran from your super market $2.00, sliced carot and a sheet of newspaper,the mealworms do their cycle worm,beetle,grub and more mealies that was at xmas and they are still going strong more worms than they can eat. they eat lettuce as well(not ice-berg) they love that frilly red-green one. they love cockroaches as well. the beardies food container has gutload in it which the worms eat while waiting their fate that way the beardies get their added vitamins and calcium. hope this is of some help. shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 How about some pics of your locust breeding tanks so I can get ideas of were to start. Heres a pic of my setup, maybe lacking a few locusts but was working a treat untill i got enoyed with flies in the same room & sprayed em with fly spray :oops: (tip-dont use fly spray anywhere close lol) Top for the adult locusts/breeders and bottom for incubating/hatching the eggs and have some waxmoth/worms under the newspaper :lol: Not the best but it works and cost me next to nothing, any questions fire away!
