Bearded Dragon Update #2 - Cricket Keeping and Feeding

The second update of Jacob, my bearded dragon. This video is about keeping crickets. I order 250 every month. Your container needs to be DRY. no substrate. dry food only. water substitute. I'm feeding jacob way too many crickets in the video, but it does not hurt to let him gorge himself every once in a while. There is too much debate about how much you should feed your dragon so do not ask. You need to judge that by your dragons size and the size of the crickets. The eggs I'm feeding him have nothing added to them. Just straight scrambled. Bearded Dragons will eat just about anything, but they do have preferences and favorites. Do not feed your dragon lettuce. Dark Greens only. You can learn other things you can feed a dragon by watching other videos and visiting related websites.

yo- ive been looking for something to feed my dragons other than crickets all the time, we can keep buying them cuz we are spending bout 300 bucks a month for both... is egg good for sub? please write back man thanks.

@TheTbwhite no i wouldn't use egg as a substitute for crickets. i would only feed eggs occasionally. and 300 dollars a month seems very expensive. i only have one dragon and i can get him through a month with 250 crickets or less. and that only cost me about $25 a month. i get mine online from premiumcrickets. good site. 300 dollars is outrageous

@xlambxofxruinx k i did the math wrong lol cant believe how stupid that was... but im really spending like 150. so bout that much- what would you use to replace crickets.

[xlambxofxruinx]

@TheTbwhite i don't think there is a good sub for crickets. roaches are more expensive. i would just cut back their diets really cause mine does fine with $25 a month. it worries me how much people feed their dragons. they have longer life expectancies in the wild and they don't get nearly as much food there as they do in captivity. reptiles are designed in a way that they don't have to eat all the time. i think overfeeding is the main cause of death for them.

I simply feed my Crickets vegetable salads called Organics, Orange for moisture, and the main course meal, which is a combination of cat food & dog food :D I Giving em extra vitamin C from Oranges, vitamin A from Veggies, & pure protein with a touch of calcium from these formulated cat & dog foods :D All for the sake of my T. hobby XD LMFAO!!

@xlambxofxruinx Thx alot and how big and old is jacob now?

[xlambxofxruinx]

@Eomerrocks13 that actually sounds about right. mine was the same way at that age and length and he still is a little bit. teenage angst you know. but go back to your old routine if it works. if it doesn't than he's just going through a phase. mine has gone through many different phases and i'm still learning about him. don't fret though. dragons are tough just do what works for your dragon.
