[post_content] => The brown house cricket (Acheta domesticus) is the standard cricket you will find at the pet shop. The banded cricket (Gryllodes sigillatus) is a distant cousin of the brown house cricket. These two are very similar, but have a few key differences. The biggest difference between banded crickets and brown house crickets is in the health issues they have. Brown house crickets do significantly worse in confined spaces, and this makes them prone to many more health problems, like iridovirus, cricket paralysis virus, and densovirus. Read our full write-up here for all the details.

[post_content] => In general, reptiles need a steady supply of protein, fat, calcium, and vitamin D3. This covers their normal nutritional needs. But to consistently get them their multivitamins, you will need to give your feeders a highly nutritional gut load mix or “chow” to boost their nutritional content, so those nutrients are passed onto your pet. For all the details, check out our full writeup.

[post_content] => Insects are like reptiles: they like it hot, but they have limits to how much they can handle. If you order a hundred feeders, shipped in a box, and accidentally leave it on your porch for too long, they might die. Crickets, hornworms, and silkworms do okay in the heat. Roaches do better. A few others do terribly in high heat. Check out our full write up to see which species you should pick for summer shipping.

[post_content] => Dubia and discoid roaches are two of the most popular feeder insects because they are terrible escape artists, produce almost no smell, require very little maintenance to keep. But they have a few key differences that might make you choose one over the other. The main difference is the legal status of the dubia roach, which makes it impossible to keep in some places. Check out our full article for all the details.

[post_content] => Black soldier fly larvae are simple. Food goes in, frass comes out, the larvae get bigger and turn into feed for your chickens. Insect frass (or poop) is a normal byproduct of the composting process, and it can be used in half a dozen ways to improve your garden and animal feed. BSFL frass is rich in nutrients, especially potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, all things that plants need. If used as a liquid fertilizer, it can improve plant health and produce better, bigger crops. Check out our full article on how to harvest and use black soldier fly larvae frass.

[post_content] => If you’re looking for a quick answer on how much to feed your beardy, it’s just not that simple. There is a lot to take into account, including your pet’s age and the other things you’re feeding it. One of the critical things to know about what, and how, bearded dragons eat is that their diets change as they get older. Juveniles are much more carnivorous, chowing down on protein and energy-rich fat to promote growth. Another thing to know is that the size of your feeders should change with your pet. The rule of thumb for picking out feeder insects is that they should be as long as the space between your beardy’s eyes. For all the details, check out our full article.

[post_content] => My white tree frog, Zelda, refuses to eat while my other frog, Slippy, keeps eating Zelda's food. I got Zelda a yesterday and tried feeding her then and now. I have tried tong feeding and just dropping crickets in and she just sits there while Slippy either steals the cricket off the tongs or eats the ones around Zelda. I'm really worried that Zelda isn't eating. Do you maybe know how I can get her to eat and how to feed two frogs in the same tank? (The picture is of Zelda)

[post_content] => Mealworms are one of the most popular options for exotic pet owners, but are they any good for bearded dragons? The short answer is yes, but there are always better (or more complete options). Bearded dragons need lots of things to make sure they have a balanced diet and no single feeder insect will keep your beardy healthy on its own. For the long answer, you need to look at what beardies need to stay healthy, what mealworms can offer, and how you can build a balanced diet for your bearded dragon. Check out our full write-up for all the details.
