On feeding...

[qev]

Hey i'm kinda new to reptiles and was thinkin about a bearded dragon...

I saw at the pet store they have freeze dried gut loaded crickets as well as pellets for feed, this seemed kinda strange, are these sorts of things ok to feed a beardie, of course in addition to greens and blueberries?

I believe the freeze dried crickets are to be used in conjunction with the vibrating dish if I am not mistaken , I know my beardies won't take a cricket that does not move . Pellets are ok too I use them occasionally but they prefer just greens and raspberries.

great, thanks for your help I'll keep that in mind as I decide whether I want to take the plunge into getting a dragon :)
