alanmin4304 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yes. I have never been able to keep them alive more than a few hours. Beardies love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aotealotl Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Surprisingly my blue tongues go nuts for moths. so do my axolotl (I feed them with big feeding tweezers) and my little brown frogs (also feed with tweezers - they open their mouth, grab the moths with both 'hands' and shove them in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Alan in the woods cicada bandit at work, if you have seen this man report him immediately :rolfl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 It is worse than that, I do it the easy way. Early in the morning while still dark using a torch and grab them as they emerge and before they climb the tree. I have been waiting for Mr Plod and his "allo allo allo what have we hear."
