Hi everyone!

I found this forum about a week ago & I'm glad I did. I've been finding everybodys questions, answers, and shared info very informative.

I'm a new dragon owner. I've had my dragon since late Dec of '08. I was told he hatched just weeks before I bought him. He was so tiny! Smiley

Anyways, I've been buying him small crickets at the pet store. They sell at about a dollar a dozen. At first I thought that was a good deal..until I was there every other day buying dozens at a time. Then I realized the price of just crickets can add up quickly. Don't get me wrong, it's not a problem at all, but I'm all about getting the best deal around.  And I read somewhere on this forum that people actually order crickets online by the bulk for a cheaper price than the pet store. So I looked it up online and was shocked to find that I can get 1000 crickets for just 13 dollars.

But when I went to the size option, I was ready to select "small" as that's what I order from the pet store. But the size options were a bit diffrent and I was wondering if someone can help me out sorting these sizes by how the pet store sizes them: Large, Med, & Small

They sell

 1 week crickets 3/14"
 2 week 1/4"
 3 week 3/8"
 4 week 1/2"
 5 week 3/4"
 6 week 1"


Thanks in advance!  Cheesy

The size of a beardie's food should be no bigger than the space between their eyes.  Measure that and you'll have your answer.   Smiley
