We've been feeding our juvenile beardie small crickets; however, he seems to be going through them at a very rapid pace (went through 50 in about two days and went through 100 in about three or four days). We've been purchasing the crickets from Petsmart at 11 cents each, and I was wondering whether we would be better off purchasing the crickets online. If so, what online retailer do you recommend for crickets?
In reading through the non-rodent feeder forum, I notice a lot of recommendations for dubias instead of crickets. Is the general consensus here that dubias are better (both in terms of for the beardie, as well as ease of maintaining) than crickets? If so, do you have a recommendation as to where I can buy the dubias, as well as whatever equipment I will need to house them?
Thanks in advance for helping out this beardie newbie.
