Hi guys, I've been out of the hobby for a while, and had my Pro-mist PM-60 pump in storage. With myself and my new family (a 15 y/o stepdaughter and a new baby daughter on the way) getting back into the hobby, I tried to get it to work. It seems it's extremely loud, and while it does have a...

There are several Feeder retailers that are close to you. Coastal, us, even LLLReptile would be closer to you than Lindas Gone Buggie, but she does produce a quality product from what I hear :-) Whatever you do, just make sure you try as many different insects as possible, so you understand...

Honestly Gavriel, I've heard of this before. Silkworms, while most reptiles LOVE them, are not infallible. I have heard of Chams and other reptiles refusing them. Just out of curiosity, are the Silkworms a regular solid white color or a striped zebra color? Some striped insects can invoke a...

There are several retailers that carry a large variety of feeders for your Cham. It's important to review all your selections before deciding on the best staple food for your cham. Dubias are an excellent support feeder, even staple feeder if you can breed them quick enough, but keep in mind...

Unfortunately that is incorrect Kyle. Repti-worms are NOT Phoenix Worms, they are the same species, but Phoenix Worms, in the opinion of many feeder experts, mine included, are a much better quality brand of Black Soldier Fly Larvae than Repti-Worms or Calci-Worms, both of which I have first...

Generally worms should be kept in a cup, it's just better to keep them contained than to let them damage your cage or escape all together from the cage. Now the caterpillars would be ok, like the Silkworms and Hornworms, and maybe the Dubia/Discoid Nymphs, but grubs and worms I'd keep contained...

You say "they were chirping more" like that's a good thing. Dang things drive my wife and I CRAZY! -Dave SPF

No, they will emerge when they are ready, just keep the soil from drying out. -Dave SPF

A cup for the smaller worms (PW's, Baby Superworms). Caterpillars can roam for a few days without food in the cage, and won't attack your cham.

Hmmm he looks quite small, which will limit you on choices, but if hes still of a similar size as in your avatar, I'd say... Small hornworms Small silkworms (or buy eggs and raise them yourself to the appropriate size, which is cheaper) Small phoenix worms Small or baby superworms (stay...

Still, I would keep the insect in a quarantine container, feeding it washed leafy veggies and insect gutload if you have it. Oranges work well too :-) Just make sure everything is pesticide free, this way the insect will flush out any harmful foods it ate previously to you capturing it. While...

You can find a bunch in the Sponsors page as well :-) -Dave SPF

^agreed. While bug burger is very nutritious, a variety of fruits and veggies is a good idea. Variety is the key to a healthy diet with both pets and feeders :-) -Dave SPF

Yes, please remove any uneaten crickets from your pet's cage at nighttime, especially when in large numbers. I'd really recommend you consider another food source for your little guy though, there are so many more nutritious and less dangerous feeder insects that are sold on the web, we don't...
