alanmin4304 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 consider yourself lucky I think. The way my young guys go through the live food I would not want to feed 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yea not too fussed, I somehow dont think the livefood would worry me though. But then again when I do weigh up the amount of live food my lot eat in general it hardly makes economic sense. I enjoy the breeding but consider that a faiure, something to work on with the couple of beardies I still have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I only have one female and she has laid 84 eggs so far and is about due to go again any day. Luckily many of the first clutches were not formed properly but I got that right by upping the calcium. Now the eggs are formed right but the fertility is way down (this next lot will be her sixth this season). Not worried about the numbers as any more than a few is a pain---more worried about trying to keep her healthy as that amount of egg production must take a lot out of them.

Insect Direct Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yea they wont produce or will stop doing so if theyre not happy, so your doing something rite. She be rite depending on her upbringing :lol: Is amazing how many they "can" produce, my 3 year old just started laying this year, 7 clutches later she still looks like she has another in the tank , not one fertile from her. 28 was the biggest clutch.

Caryl Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 You breed battery operated dragons? :lol: Are the batteries included? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 The batteries would be a very convenient food compared to live food. I have just been presented with another 16 eggs so that makes 100 eggs this season, so I am very grateful most didn't hatch so far and most in the incubator have been infertile. Enough to keep it interesting. OH WELL---DOWN THE SHOP FOR BATTERIES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
