Anyone's bearded dragon eat the prekilled crickets? I mean the freeze dried ones or the ones that are sealed in a can and cooked. I don't know how else to describe them except prekilled.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I wouldn't recommend using the prekilled/canned crickets for your bearded dragon. They have no moisture and I doubt they're gutloaded. Im sure your dragon would prefer to chase its food down. Hunting for bugs is probably the highlight of his/her day.

prekillled crickets
About the only way to describe them. You did fine. I have fed mine both canned crickets and grasshoppers. The hoppers are a lot bigger then the crickets. Mine will eat them either from my fingers or lay them on something. They do have a food tray that runs on batteries that vibrates and moves the dead insects around. I have seen it work. I personally do not need it. Mine will eat either moving or not. I hope this helps, I am assuming your will not eat them already dead, is that right. Jeff

If i put them on a stick (little like twistie tie (he doesnt eat the twistie tie so dont worry)) move them around it annoys him enough that he just starts eating them.
