herpshop :?

 

[Belinda]

Nope...Checked there. Have a look at there site...They sound really good. I am sick of buying all these insects that dont breed, and all the fruit and vegs giong off before he eats it...

Looks like I'll be ordering internationally....

Dont know about those products as far as quarantien in australia is concerned. might not be so easy Belle, or cheap. Fresh is best anyway imo

 

[Belinda]

I contacted the company, they said it should come in no problems.

 

[wattso]

Its not up to them though Belle, its up to customs here. That company will naturally tell you a.ok. because they want your money.
try feeder roaches from the herp shop, they breed themselves. maybe yours wernt kept warm enough? What happened your insects wouldnt breed?

 

[saikrett]

i'm with you wattso, fresh is best

 

[africancichlidau]

Fresh is the only way to go Belle, roaches should be easy to breed as long as they are warm enough

 

[wattso]

God thats a cute lil murry Saikrett, how did you cut it out like that? i cant work out how to do that stuff with photoshop etc.

hey bell what kinda insects are you trying to breed?
cockroaches breed very quickly and are easy to look after and beardies love them.

 

[wattso]

Soak their veggies in red wine eh Africa, they breed like crazy during the night and wake up next morning with a hangover in a strange roaches bed! lol

 

[Belinda]

Mine doesnt. Nor Crickets. It will only eat Superworms...Nothing BUT superworms...Dont bother suggesting anything Coz I have treid it all about 100 times

 

[Guest]

I have treid it all about 100 times

obviously not hard enuf

My next choice is
1) Starve him
2) Force feed him

Thats where these Yummies thingo's come in handy..Gonna put them through a needless syrinage and pop it into his mouth..Its his choice to swallow, but its more effort to spit it out...So knowing the lazy bugger he's gonna swallow it

 

[wattso]

have you tried letting them go hungry for a few days then offering alternate insects?

 

[Belinda]

Tried letting him go hungry for a week and over once, I offereng him fruit and veggies everyday...Nope..No luck.

 

[wattso]

But hes not going hungry if ya given him fruit and veg. change his name to "Ghandi"

 

[Belinda]

But he didnt eat the veggies He scoffed downthe pinky though..

 

[Guest]
