Search results for query: dying crickets

Your vet is working off of his personal experience only. Did he do lab work or a necropsy the first one that died? How did the results of the blood work necropsy prove that crickets were the cause? All of his assumptions are pure conjecture with out evidence. I would like to see the sources of...

My goals, hmmmm. 1. Replace the mesh on the enclosures that the darn crickets have bitten thru, so I can minimize having crickets everywhere. One actually hitch hiked with me on my motorcycle to work. Lol A full grown silk worm did the same w my husband, and a homebuyer saw it sitting on his...

Here is my line of thinking…. 50 medium grasshoppers are $40.00 U.S. shipped. That’s 80 cents a hopper. Crickets are 13 cents each at my local pet store. But I would estimate that 2/3 of crickets die within a week of purchase so they’re really 39 cents each. AND medium hoppers are...

I want to change her feeding a bit and try different food for her like your doing but I’m worried of having to take care of all the insects or then dying so I wanted to ask if it is hard at all or anything you got to do to keep them alive

You can order them online. Tcinsects.com. My last 2 orders were from Petsmart. My new strategy - I leave them in the bag and throw some gut load in the bag. Actually less of them are dying. I dump 10 per day into my calcium dust cup. Pick out the dead- put them in the trash and feed the live...

I get 500 at a time and keep them in a big Rubbermaid type bin. I have found they need really good ventilation, so I’ve screened some areas on each side as well as the lid. No substrate and the only hydration is what they get from their food, although at times I will lightly mist their greens. I...

So I’ve been feeing crickets to my girl and am curious what good healthy alternatives are? They seem to die off so quickly and honestly they don’t seem to eat well for me. Any other easy feeders to take care of instead of crickets? I currently feed Dubias, Hornworms, and Crickets

Hey all, recently I started using vermiculite as a bedding in an igloo cooler I use to keep crickets. The crickets seem as if they are dying quicker since i've been using vermiculite. Any suggestions?

I've started using grasshoppers for feeders. I definitely love them more than crickets. I received my hoppers on Thursday. Today is Sunday - all of the hoppers are alive. With crickets, they die really fast. Is there any additional information I need. Will they be harder to digest? Can...

I hate crickets 🤣

Nice. Yeah I bought 50 but what do you use to gut load them? I’m sure there’s a site that can auto ship so I don’t ever run out as well.

Trying to find a vet that will take us. Not many exotic vets that will take a Cham where we live. Will call UT in Konoxville, definitely. Thank you so much! Yes I will fill this out right now to get as much help as possible. It's so sad to watch. - Female veiled chameleon. Told shes 8 months...

Post it up! I feel a lot of people have issues with keeping them alive so it would be good to have an other thread people can check out. Complete with bin pictures, how many kept in said size of bin, etc. I never had major issues, but think my issues were due to domestic, and not banded. Will be...

That is hilarious! What did the woman do when she saw the silkworm? 🤣🤣🤣

Hi everyone and happy halloween🎃 My lil fella, Mel, has been living in Connecticut now for about 3 months. His enclosure/schedule has adapted and is stable post-move, so I figure it’d be a good time for another husbandry review! Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon: Male Veiled, had him since June...

Great questions! I got my Jackson when he was 4 months old and he is currently

Ok great! Can’t wait to try it out. Did you have your Cham when he was a juvenile? I was asking before don’t know if anyone saw it but the pet store said to feed crickets only but I’ve learned they don’t know a thing about anything lol. Do I start a variety right away or stick to crickets for a...

I buy 51 crickets every few days from my local big box pet store. Any # over 50 gets an extra discount so…51. They’re gut loaded with Repashy Bug Burger or Cricket Crack at least 24 hours before feeding my chameleon. Way easier than buying 1,000 in bulk and keeping them in a rubber maid...

thank you so I guess 3 will do with vitamin with D3 and then wait another month to feed him again but I don't think he's full should I just feed him now just regular not dusted crickets. again thank you for your help I just don't want my reptile to die.

Ok. So what should I do as a feeding schedule? Do I feed her every other day? Right now she’s doing 3-4 crickets once a day. I’ll have to check her basking temp again.
