he smashes the head with tweezers, pulls off the wings, slices em in 2 and the beardies go wild.

mine never has had a thing for stuff that doesn't move, so it'd be a learning curve for him. gonna give it a shot tomorrow, as I have too many mature males so we'll see.

My beardie can eat the medium sized nymphs though. Maybe 2 or 3 molts away from maturity.

my beardies love roaches. we have a lobster colony, aswell as a dubia and a turk colony. and hissers just as pets. the beardies go bonkers for them and they are cheap as chips to keep.

well i fed my beardie full grown males today and he handled them NO PROBLEM. that's great news to me. I really thought he'd have a problem with them, but nope. made quick work!
