My beardies ate crickets daily and never got fat and they were lazy sods! Lol. I always thought crickets were one of the healthier insects for beardies. Have you tried strawberries and blueberries? Also pinkie mice? Ours loved those! Roaches?? (Less smelly and annoying than crickets) x. | |||

Trained him to go back to his cage to use the toilet, was immaculate clean and would spend the rest of the time sitting on my shoulder or lap watching telly and keeping me company.
Liked him so much we got a female which I kept in another room, was very mischievious and escaped one night, went through the house and got into his cage......when I found them in the morning the inevitable happened and instead of coming out his cage like he did every day to say hello, he just raised his head looked at me and went back to sleep obviously having his wicked way the night before lol!!!
2 months later, 15 rats to find a new home for lol!!!! | |||

I'm really glad they aren't sold in many pet shops now. I used to hate selling them when I worked for Pets at Home. People just used to buy them on a whim. | |||
