[JLush]

Hey guys just got two new bearded dragons charlie and Lola i bought locusts but they dont seem to be lasting long is there any way i can help them stay alive for longer,also can anyone let me know what kind of food i can give my babies. Not sure on their age but they manage size four locusts. Today Lola was really lifeless today at certain points until she is taking out of the cage then comes back to life.

Hey there, I also have a new bearded dragon and I feed mine crickets, mine is 5-6 weeks and is just getting used to his/her new home so isn't eating much. The rule of feeding is to give them nothing bigger than the space between their eyes else they can have hind leg paralysis which can be fatal. My crickets seem to be lasting a decent amount of time, I read online to put some cereal in with your cricket/locusts to keep them fed and also some orange slices for water (I think) but my crickets loved the orange. You must also remember to dust your food in repcal. *Please correct me if any of this information is wrong as I am also a new owner and this would help very much  *

Keep the locusts on cardboard egg crates

is what you want

Also, make sure the locusts have hydration (cucumber, carrot, or even potato will help with this).
Provide protein to them, dry dog or cat food.
All the same, they will only last about 2 weeks.
