They do taste tons better than store bought though.I was thinking that as I wrote it haha,but yea I feel ya our neighbor had chickens for a long time,lots of work. Also,I was just doing the math,I Def spend more time and money with the chameleon upkeep then the tweaker tank. About $25-30 a month in food. But thats more so cause I don't like my pet stores selection 1 Quote Link to comment

I've been building nesting boxes for the chick en coop today. They've just started laying eggs. I'm actually sealing new oak platforms for my buddies smoker,his old ones are worn out and nasty so we're stripping the grill down and adding new paint and hardware,we were considering adding small tractor tires to it for extra mobility.

But there is no comparison in the quality of the food .I totally agree Gena,way better upside with the dubias. New vine added up front for better uvb without direct heat basking site.

Fingers crossed here. Lol. How are you and the family,the zoo haha? Hi, Patrick . Good idea with the orchid! You might even try wrapping the roots with moss and wedging it in between a branch. They grow in holes on trees. Try to keep those roots from getting soggy! I'm not an expert, but I've done a little research on them and know a little . We're all good here, including the zoo LOL. It's crazy ridiculous hot right now but otherwise all's good! How about you? 1 Quote Link to comment
