Is there a replacement food for crickets when feeding a Chinese (Asian) Water Dragon? I mean could super worms, Hi-Cal worms etc. become the new staple?

It seems like crickets, mealworms (normal size, jumbo and super), waxworms, and earthworms, grasshoppers, butterworms, locusts, and small goldfish are acceptable. I'd make sure they are an approriate size though. Source: http://www.triciaswaterdragon.com/diet.htm

Hello, I don't know much about Emperor Scorpions but The issue I had with these freeze dried crickets is that my beardie prefers live, moving creatures. These I think would work fine for someone that can't get live food but I think it depends on if your scorpions will eat dead prey. You can also try the can o' crickets. I haven't personally used those but a variety of options may be your best bet. Hope this helps

I got this feeder, and I have NO NO Problem with the this feeder getting any kind of bugs what so ever. When I do change out the the food I make sure that the feeder is cleaned up real good, and around the holes. Refill and put the feeder back up, and it is put up high in front of my Bay window. When it is real hot I change out the food every week. When it is cooler weather every other week. The best feeder I have ever had, and believe me I have had a lot of different feeders. Good Luck

If you are currently placing these in their own dish, try adding them to the bird seed in your regular feeders. I put these in a tray feeder with a bird seed mix and several species of birds come and eat them; Scrub Jays, Wrens, English Sparrows, Cowbirds, Song Sparrows, etc. When I tried segregating specific food items (even live mealworms) in small dishes or cups in the past, the birds seemed leery of them and wouldn't touch them.

Hi, Amy. They don't smell really good (the worms) but we started making a lot of bluebirds happy in a matter of days. If they get wet, dump them and start fresh. I noticed that the birds won't touch them if they are not dry and fresh. The Bluebirds are the only ones that eat them in our yard...but Bluebirds are scarce around here so we're very please they have adopted our yard. We had 5 babies already in the Bluebird house and 2 more eggs are there now. Anyway, don't give up just yet. Oh, we have noticed a drop in the number of the worms eaten since the relly warm weather. During the early spring (Massachusetts) we had to fill the little dish 3 times a day. Best of luck. Alan

Not the same. Giant Mealworms are treated with a hormone to keep them from transforming into a beetle where as the Superworm is a different kind of beetle all together. As far as nutrition goes Mealworms have a little less natural nutrition due to their body, where as more of a Superworm is digestible. But you should gutload both regardless. Ideally you'd just match the size of the worm to what you are feeding the worm to, so chameleons would prefer Mealworms and a large Beardie would prefer Super.

I have one of these CPO crayfish in a tank with a Betta, 2 small fish, corrie catfish, 2 snails, and african dwarf frog. I have no real problems after 2 months. This Mexican crayfish is way too small to eat even my tiniest snail (about 1/2").

I doubt it, but I don't know what type of turtles you have. I'm certain my Red Eared Sliders would eat them as my RES try to eat everything in the tank (even the sand). Although, I've been able to keep alive with my RES some tinfoil barbs, and a pleco, but they were with the turtles as babies and are all large now. These crayfish are bite size to a turtle, and an expensive meal. I even have a food that includes dried shrimp in it that are about size of mini crayfish.

Today I gave my Shi Tzhu a home clipping and was shocked at how fat he got -- he's now 20lbs. How did this happen? What a dope I was. I've been giving him three dental chews a day for months now. Of course he gained four lbs or so. Will cut back to one daily.

not sure if there is anything that a crow can't eat out of; they are determined. Our feeders our right outside our window and we have other feeders with loose corn for the "pests", such as squirrels, crows and blue jays. They have tried to feed from them, but due to being so close to the house; they avoid them and go to the other far off feeders.

You may want to send it back for a replacement. I myself, as well as my pet, love this feeder and I would recommend this feeder because not only is it a healthy way of feeding but it holds the right amount of food for my pet. The people who designed this feeder are very concerned about satisfaction and wellness of your pet.

Are they using imported protein and veggies or are they also grown in the US? I know it says made in the US but that could be the actual processing of the food. I am wary of getting filthy garbage from China, since they often poison pets when they aren't too busy eating them.

Yes!. It's a new brand for me but the same stuff. My parrots love it and it's great for them. This is something they eat in the wild and I add it to their food as a supplement.

My chi's will not eat anything but cadet duck. I have tried everything and the chi's refuse chicken, lamb, beef(everything). I have fed our children duck for 3yrs now without problems. Have had problems buying this product so when it came available again, I bought 50# in 2 and 2.5# bags. I just wonder if there is anything in it that makes my chi's love it. Right now there is a supply here and at Costco. Go figure
