They were somewhere around the $1500 mark each I think give or take a few hundred. I can't remember exactly I'm afraid.
Yes, they have grown tons!! I had no idea blueys grew so fast as my others were all bought as adults.
They will not TOUCH veggies at all, have tried them with everything. They are fed on Rep-Cal beardie pellets, with cat food once weekly and of course a few tweezer fed woodies. It's funny watching them trying to catch woodies as they just grab hold of them, then they go to munch them and end up letting them go again!!
Any tips from bluey keepers out there for getting them into their veggies?
Regarding UV and heating, I have found that they are a little sensative to light. At first I had them under a heat lamp (normal 100 watt globe) but when basking they would close their eyes.
On noticing that I placed a log (one of the turtle dock logs) under the basking spot, and found that they liked to bask underneath the log rather than on top of it. I then switched to under floor heating which they seem to prefer, and use a lot.
As far as UV goes, they go outside on the weekend to soak up some rays. They are given a hide of course so they can get out of the sun if they wish to.
They tend to bask for short periods and then retreat into the shade.
They are kept in tubs with newspaper, hides and a litter tray of shredded newspaper that they bury into. Nothing much to look at but they seem to like it.
