Val (Zebedee) Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 They are driving me crackers!! We have a 6 month old bearded dragon & it's a bit too cold in the conservatory for him just yet, so he's in a temp viv on the dining room table! He gets fed on veg etc, but we also feed grasshoppers, mealworms, crickets, wax worms, etc .... he has afew crickets in with him ... & 1 of them won't shut up!! It's been serenading us for days!! I wish Tripod (the 3 footed dragon) would hurry up & eat the blooming thing!! :angry: there is a better one, but youtube is playing up! will upload it when it sorts itself out :angry: :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizadora Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 i used to cut their wings off when i had lizards, then they cant chirp, used to drive me mad buying in bulk (1000s of them) then having them all singing, not to mention the escapees which would sing all night under the floor boards or down little cracks in the house. so those o0nes got away and didnt get their wings chopped.
