Feeding Question

[Shaun J]

Can you feed a Bearded Dragon those Can O' Crickets, if you have a vibrating dish, like this one?

Yes you can.... but I personally have not had any luck with either of my dragons eating thise, they are often times slimey and smell horrid. Why would you want to do that rather than offering live prey?

[Shaun J]

I don't mind feeding live prey, I was just wondering, because it would make things easier. How about stunning them in the freezer, so they could still walk, but can't move too fast?

My beardie LOVES chasing crix around his cage. Fun to watch, too.

[Shaun J]

It's just my problem with crickets, is that they keep getting away.Do those cricket keepers help?

[JLC]

Cricket Keepers work fine if you need to keep a bunch of them around and alive for a few days. What do you mean "they keep getting away?" I buy mine at the pet-store...they come in a plastic bag filled with air...I bring the bag home and just dump them into the tank. Shaggy (the beardie) takes care of the rest. LOL Never had an escape.

If the prey getting away is the issue, why not pull thier back legs off and throw them in a bowl...
