Hi Cyndi, i'm new here too - just bought my first veiled cham a few weeks ago, got told a complete load of bull by the guy in the store luckily i found this forum and now have a much happier female.
There are a few mixed opinions but wouldn't life be soooo boring if we all thought the same...
Yeah, i'd like to know about cricket farming too please.
I bought the wrong ones yesterday, i usually get the silent browns - this new batch are chirping away in front of the tv lol
It's quite relaxing actually :p
Hi Carl,
I get all of my bugs from The Reptile Room in Blackpool - it's only a 20 minute drive away from me.
They have a fantastic selection of different bugs at different sizes.
They also have an online shop, here's the link.........

Oh, forgot to mention - i've got some Indian stick insects now, i got 12 plus 100 eggs. Sticks are only young at the mo, i'm planning on letting these get to adult stage and feed the next generation to Shiver.
I know sticks are illegal in the States ( i'm in the UK ) but does anyone have any...
Yeah, i read that yesterday which got me wondering if i was giving too much.
I might reduce it to once a month.
It is a VERY tiny dab that i put on, i scrape the pipette on the bottle before touching the bug.
I don't do them together either, i use D3 one week and Vit A the next week.
Thanx Brad :D
( Oops, carrot was another suggestion by guy in the store - i'll give it to the bugs )
I'll see if i can get hold of any of them flowers. I'm a bit reluctant to buy plants because of the pesticide risk - i might have a go at growing my own.
Is the D3 and vit A supplement...
There are a lot of mixed views on handling, i personally handle mine because she will tolerate it.
She was very shy to start with though, i began by hand feeding her yummy bugs - like waxworms.
She doesn't attack me or hiss at me when i put my hand in for her to walk on but she does attack...
I haven't put Shiver in her new cage yet as i'm still waiting for a reply from company who sent it, but i have made a few changes to her present cage.
I have still got the UV D3 lamp but also got another lamp with a 60w bulb - her ambient temp is 73F and her basking temp is 88F.
I've noticed...
ME TOO!!!! LOL.
Yeah, it's Bellatrix Lestrange isn't it? Cousin of Syrius Black?
Next edition should be out june i think - i've ordered it on Amazon already hehe.
