So its with an extremely heavy heart despite how long we got with Neptune that I make the official post of his passing. Earlier today I took him into the vet to be put down due to what I think was severe kidney failure and the vet said he was in septic shock. I am so glad I made the decision I...

Well I have been missing for a bit again. After the move, work picked up like crazy and I broke my leg ugh. But the real update is I think Neptune's body may be failing him finally. I am currently running supportive care at the house since he doesn't look stable enough to survive a vet visit...

As we know Neptune is a super old man and these last two years have come with a myriad of age related health issues. He is currently struggling with shooting his tongue and potentially the stickiness of it. He can still shoot it a very short distance. Anyone have any recommendations for...

Neptune's birthday passed by in oct when I was adjusting to a new schedule so I didn't get on to update you guys. The old man is 13. He is gaining weight right now (he went really skinny for a time as we struggled with his sight issues and finally found the right feeder cup for him) and other...

So this will overall be the enclosure thread of the WIP and finished product while I work on Neptune's cage. But I also wanted to update people with his health. He went to our new exotic vet whom I love a lot (our move has been very successful). We have decided not to move him to his new cage...

So... this may be a question with no answer. But i do wonder if feeding things like repashy or a multivit supplement in small doses to feeder insects is safe or even changes things? It hasn't impacted my colonies over the years I have done it but they get maybe 1/8 of a teaspoon every week or...

Hey guys! Its been ages once more. Life decided to make it hard and i dropped off the face of the earth a bit... again lol. Anyways, we are moving and thus deciding to upgrade a lot of enclosures. One of the upgrades is my chameleon cage. I still have Neptune and am hoping the grumpy boy will...

This is mostly a question for @SauceGandhi but generally anyone who sells their grasshoppers in the US is welcome. Whith differentialis species i imagine from the way they are laying for me right now even with diapause i will have more than i can feed off with my invert eaters. Does shipping...

i4-i5 p. Asotus jumping spiders available. These guys are currently only eating fruit flies but will eat any size offered. I have the ability to offer different personalities but the majority and relatively social. These are from a wild caught female Current quantity available 5 spiders 15.00...

Grasshoppers are doing great, they are eating everything from my garden with gusto. Everything from kale, mustard leaves, red leaf and butter lettuce, beet greens, and pea greens so far! Also been finding a lot of cut worms and cabbage white worms because its thats season, so Prince Neptune is...

Just had my grasshoppers start hatching and I have a huge garden of food to offer them if they will eat it however I'm uncertain as to what this species will eat. I have differential grasshoppers. Are they picky? I know generally what to avoid, do I need to do special care for the little ones...

It's definitely spring. My isopods are bursting at the seams, snails are starting to pop up, silkworms hatched, dubias and discoids are nearing their final stages until adults. Peppered Roaches seem to growing in nymph stages well. Ivory heads, red runners, death heads, and even my hissers seem...

I am making hydei cultures soon (not for chams but the jumping spider slings i will have hatching soon) My ingredients are Banana Apples Powder papaya and powder elder berry I am considering adding spirulina since i have heard that is great for carotenids though currently i have misplaced my...

Back to making bug chow again. For severak years my mental illness won and my critter care fell by the way side. All things were hitting minimum requirements but i usually ago above and beyond where i can. Well im back to stable and my colonies just need some tlc. They are fine but definitely...

I have been gone for ages once again. Multiple reasons. A lot have to do with big life changes. My new insect colonies have been stabilizing and breeding went through the big cycle of losing adults and then only having nymphs for a while. Neptune is still with me. He is 6 now and doing well. I...

I have a surplus of adults in my colonies right now and I am trying to trim them down some to encourage new nymph growth. All of these need to be kept in bioactive enclosures. Ember Roaches- mixed only (adults and nymphs) Non flying, non-climbing 10 adults/20 nymphs (1 available) 12.00 +...

The locale of silkworms i have are extremely slow growing. However genetically strong. Im frustrated with the time they take to grow. Im trying to time out when to pull another 300 eggs to hatch but omg i cant seem to guess their growth rate. Otherwise the other inverts are growing like mad. Im...
