                    [post_content] => Entering for March 2022 Cricket Contest is Debbie! Debbie is a Buff Brahma we picked up from the post office in October 2021 when she was a day old along with her 3 "Sisters" we had gotten. She is a wonderful Chicken who GOES NUTS for anything that is smaller than her and that can move and/or squirm. We keep her and her sisters in a rather large chicken coop and Whenever I come out to the chicken coop she will run up to the side of the coop that I am at and start ducking and weaving, I like to call it the happy dance. Debbie's name came from a series on Netflix which is called Lost in Space, there is a Rhode Island Red Hen in there named Debbie and she is treated like royalty! Its a really good show. Beside her is one of her Luxurious eggs, hers out of all of our chickens taste the best. Eggs that are produced at home ALWAYS taste the best! Whenever my family or I go to the store we almost always head to the egg section like it is an instinct, but then we remember all of the eggs at home and usually skip it. Being able to win this contest would really help make my chickens/chicks stay happy and healthy! Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit about Debbie! Have a great day!

I named him Happy because he makes everyone around him happy except for the crickets and worms. I usually feed him crickets and superworms, but on some occasions I will feed him silkworms or hornworms.

Bearded Dragons or Leopard Geckos?

Every curious mind starts with one of these famous reptile pets.  But which is truly the better option for beginners?  Well, the  answer to that question largely depends on the user.  Is this pet for a hands-on child?  Or a relaxed adult?  Is the pet-parent able to spot clean daily?  Or do they need a pet that requires a little less maintenance?  Is the new pet parent looking for a curious companion that likes to explore beyond their own habitat?  Or does he/she prefer a pet that minds its own business from the comfort of its own home? The answers to these questions will determine which is the better pet for your personality.  And our detailed guide goes over these important differences between bearded dragons and leopard geckos.

Lifespan

With great care, both bearded dragons and leopard geckos can live between 10 - 20 years.  So every potential owner show anticipate a long-term family member when adopting one.  But they don't need the same care as each other.  Bearded dragons can create a lot of feces.  And they aren't neat about it.  So new pet parents should expect to provide daily spot cleaning, and then provide a deep clean about once per month. Leopard geckos are typically neater, and will usually defecate in the same area.  It is recommended to spot clean daily, however their habitats can usually go 2-3 months without a deep clean.

Temperament

This is another area where leopard geckos and bearded dragons show their differences.  Bearded dragons tend to have a unique, playful, mischievous, and curious personality.  They enjoy climbing on their pet parents, and even embarking on explorations (assuming the temps are satisfactory).  This is what makes them a great beginner pet for curious children who want to hold their new pet. Leopard geckos are able to bond with their pet parents, similar to bearded dragons.  But they are a little more shy.  An over-excited child is very likely to scare your leopard gecko is handled to aggressively.  This can frighten your leo, and even cause them to lose their tails. There are a variety of other differences.  And those differences are spelled out in great detail in our guide.  But please ask questions below if it doesn't cover something you'd like to know about!   [post_title] => Bearded Dragon?
