    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.

    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....

Hi I was currently trying to find out info on providing feeders insects and rodents to zoo,rescues and pet stores. My first question is how many feeders does a pet store or zoo consume a week/month? I understand when talking about wholesale where talking about huge numbers but I was looking for an estimate of how huge
-thanks
 
When i had 25 breeders of bearded dragons i would go thru 5,000 crickets a week plus supersworms. when i did the teen survival challenge at the san diego zoo, we had to find a mealworm and i nocked on the reptile house door the guy answered the door gave us a superworm, he told me they purchase around 100,000 super worms at a time and there a huge zoo so it all depends on size of the place you would be supplying.
 
I cant remember if that was weekly or not for them. If i ever run into the guy again at the zoo ill try to rember to ask him.
 
a young beardie will eat about 50 crickets a day. But as they get older, it'll probably drop to about 20-30 crickets per day. So if you know how many beardies you're dealing with, that could give you a ball park number of crickets.
