snake kid Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I had heard that cricket weren't so good for BT's because there digestive system is designed to eat softer foods may you are feeding him a few to many crickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I had heard that cricket weren't so good for BT's because there digestive system is designed to eat softer foods may you are feeding him a few to many crickets? so if a bd sees a cricket in the wild it wouldn't eat it then?

snake kid Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Nah its fine I sould stop abriviating every thing its to hard to read. anyway did you bathe your Blue tongue yet? and yeah maybe you should move on to more fresh ones. They aren't that hard to breed just a bit of an "investment" at the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 not eating...whats your temps? temps is probably a bit cooler at this time of year? if too cool it should be brumating and not eating at all. I had never seen a bt eat an insect until a couple of months back when feeding some beardies i thought id see if the blue tongues would be keen on a roach......ive never seen bts move so fast and now theyre almost more keen on roaches then the old fav meaty foods.

snake kid Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Locusts are to fast for blue tongue lizards plus they are more expensive to breed by ALOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 how did you work that out snakey?A handful of grass every other day and half a cup of bran and a 100 watt lightbulb is not going to break anyones bank?also quite simple to demobilise to bt speed with little imagination.

snake kid Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I heard they were to fast for blue tongues from a guy at the pet shop and when I said that they are alot more expensive I mean't that they were considerabley more expensive than breeding crickets. not that they were going to cost a few hundred bucks or somthing.
