I found that my neo Jacksons liked to eat about 9 to 12 fruit flies in one shot. Might want to get some of those. They are tiny, but not to your guy's little tongue. Also, if the temps get hotter in the days to come, I found that a wet towel around the screened enclosure helped to maintain a...
Lali hangs in despite her deformities. Her spirit is wise. (Xanth) Mr Triggs is easy going and watches at the front window when he's not adventuring with me. (Xanth) And Fractal, now three years old, seems happy eating his quail eggs and is very active and interactive. (Veiled) Can't ask for...
While my 2+ year old veiled will eat the odd worm, he's gone off crickets but a few a year. Silkworms are his favorite. He loves his quail egg and will part just the front tip of his lips to show he's hungry for it. I squirt it in his mouth via syringe. He's never been better on this "soft"...
Ah ha ha.... I know just what you are going through. I lost a roommate when a cricket took up home in the gas heater and it was amplified throughout. My roommate left at 5 in the morning and I never saw or heard from him again.
Then I had to just get used to the sound at night. Earplugs helped...
My male jackson has recently entered his little manhood as well. <G> Late bloomer. lol
All my little ones hit that stage. I just keep the routine and they go through their changes while bonding with me more and more. I think they all like consistancy on my part, and a wide variety of insects.
Lost all to computer crash... so here's an update and I hope those who wrote to me personally, will do so again so I will have you on my database again.
Lali is still with us, disabled as she is, her spirit is good and she begs to be picked up and held. She becomes a soft bright green in my...
Pill bugs gave one of my lizards a mouth infection that killed him. Moths are ok.... but I highly recommend getting your bugs from the store or online. My vet recommends raising my own crickets. Ants keep getting to them and killing them so I can't do that here. So I get them and feed them (gut...
My veiled can be fussy about eating too. I have found that if I show him a number of different meals, always starting with a cricket first, there is usually one he does like and eats. In times of complete refusal, I use medium size phoenix worms knowing they are really too small, but I rub his...
My female Jackson loves their nutty crunch. mmm
They hatch easily in the cantainers the worms come in and I let them do that in her cage. Seasonal event. mmm
