Thanks everyone. Def seems like a better option than stinky crix!!
We've only got one veiled, she's about 5 months I think and we've got about 50 roaches. That be good enough to start with??
And that's ok Fear, I'll let u off lol ;)
Thanks everyone!!!!
Sorry for another thread about breedin feeders but crix stink too much so I'm thinkin about dubias....just need some advice though....
How hard is it firstly?
How long will they take to multiply to a decent amount?
How should they be kept?
What should they be kept in?
And anythin else you...
Hi everyone.
Just wanted abit of advice on how to keep large numbers of crix please? we want to use them as the main staple and seems as they breed so quickly it seems like the better option. Totally unsure how they would need to be kept though so....
Whats the best container to keep them...
Cool name....I bet he's boy though! Lol ours was sold to us a boy but bee told on here that she's a girl... was gonna change her name to Carol but I can't get it to stick lol
no I haven't actually.. I'll check later though, thanks :)
I'm in the uk too n haven't been able to find anywhere that sells hornworms, if you find anywhere could u let me know please?! I'd really like to get some for Calvin. He has dubais mostly now, crix occasionally but now she's in the screen cage I'd rather feed from a cup!
Just a quick one guys, I've just taken delivery of our second lot of roaches and there's a white one in the box? It looks the same as the others but is totally white, like an albino. We had a couple in the last batch too.... Are they safe to feed to Calvin? Anyone know why they're white?!
Calvin had to go vets cuz if an eye problem n was told it was conjunctivitis. I had drops to give her twice a day too but I forget the name. I had to take her back after 4 days for a checkup and was advised to carry on givin them for 2 weeks n go back if it got worse. If got better tho and no...
How do they stay in those holders?!
We finally got our new house for Calvin!!! :D
Sooo pleases!! This is her 3rd day in there, she's staying right at top on the mesh alot, even sleepin there, I'm guessing it just while she gets used to the new surroundings, right?!
I don't know enough to give advice but I think you're doin a wonderful thing and I take my hat to u!! Keep up the good work, I hope she gets healthy and happy again :)
She's only made the noise 3 or 4 times, it sounds like a bit of a hiss but she's never been dark when she's done it and there's no other poppin noises or anythin like that and no excess mucus. I like the idea of growin wheatgrass, I might look into that. When we get the house set up we're gonna...
One more...sorry!!
A couple times since we got Calvin we've thought we heard her breath!? I know it sounds weird but it's like a sigh wiv abit of squeak or wheeze!? Should we be worried about this!?
