Because my Beardie won't drink her water. So I use pellets once a week to soak in water and make sure she gets well hydrated. I give her collards everyday and she gets a few well gutloaded buggies. Sometimes I will just do a few veggies and collards with a few pellets instead of insects. It's really a convenience thing too. If I'm in a hurry I can just throw some pellets in some water, in the cage, get to work or class. So I'd like to see if anyone here on the forums has tried making their own pellets. I just don't like the ingredients on most of these commercial products.
OK, interesting. Mine get their hydration from their greens, and I feed them hornworms as well. Also, when it's not winter, I give them baths in the sink about once a week or so.
