New to asf, considering breeding

[JohnNJ]

I'm going to feed a couple pinks to my bearded dragon today and that'll help trim down the numbers.

You should put the pinks in a plastic bag and pop them in the freezer to save for your beardie. Warm them up in hot water and they're fine. I do that for my baby corn snakes. Don't wait too long or they'll be too big.

Thanks for the tip JohnNJ, I may try that if I become over-run.

So my 3rd female dropped and somehow I have LESS babies. All 7 of the first group are there and growing nicely. They seem to be about ready to open their eyes and have been crawling out of the nest from time to time. The 2nd group now only has 3 pups (there were 8) and the new group is only a single pup. I wonder what happened? I need to get them sorted out soon. I fear that there was some cannibalism going on.

I picked up some hog feed from the local supply store today. Happy to get 50lbs for 15 bucks. But after I opened it I was looking at the tag and realized it is medicated It has Tylosin. From my short bit of reading it seems that its not too dangerous. Am I hoping I'll be fine feeding them this stuff for the time being and I'll be sure to tell the guy to get non medicated stuff for next time. Think I'll be ok?
