Tail Biting

Okay guys. Tell me what I am doing wrong.! All my baby beardies are getting multiple tail bites. They are 5 to a tub, and are fed 3 times a day. I dump crickets until they stop eating and I just leave the 10 or so that they dont eat so they can have something to munch on between meals. Usually they are still there when I go to feed again. Please tell me what I am doing wrong so they can ONE quite hurting each other and TWO make some profit for me. Mostly I just feed bad for the little guys.

You just never know when you'll get a bunch like that....I've had it happen several times over the years, and last year was one of my worst. Your'e definitely feeding enough, it's just one of those things....has nothing to do with real aggression, either in most cases. They just see what looks like something different to have a taste of, and even one in each bin can devastate the little group.

Thanks for commenting Angie. Coming from you, I feel better that I am not doing something wrong.. Just wish there was some secret trick to stopping them from reducing each others tails to stubs.

i was just wondering what are the genetics on these babies

They are Citrus Pastel x Lemon Burst hypo's. 3 weeks old. They were doing fine. I went to an show this weekend and noticed a few bites when I came back Sunday night, but Monday night I noticed at least one or two in each tub had pretty good stubs.

Ok well would you be willing to ship these once they are aboout 8 inches long.

I will probably sell them as soon as they turn 8 weeks old. Yes, I would be willing to ship.
