When I first looked into getting a beardie I looked into breeding crickets too. I can't find the place now that had it, but I found a few sites selling starter colonies and kits. But crickets are pretty damn smelly. There are plenty of roach starter kits too, but as Lost mentioned it's best to use roaches when your beardie is bigger.Originally Posted by Herp4life11
Mabye I could breed my own crickets???? and ya 100crickets sounds real good compaired to me statistics
As for feeding size, the rule of thumb is to only give your beardie a food item no larger than the space between his/her eyes or you run the risk of impaction.
Also, just so you have as much info as possible, and I'm definitely not trying to start a debate, but feeding baby/juvie beardies mealworms is an area of debate among beardie keepers. Some say it'll cause impaction because of the high amount chitin in mealworms, some have fed mealworms to babies just fine. Not saying they can't be fed at all, but it's usually recommend to feed them to full grown beardies. But like I said, this is an area of debate.
