Hello! Is it a MUST to gut load my mealworms? ALso, do I HAVE to dust them in calsium if I'm providing the calcium in the crested gecko diet? One last thing: are mealworms or crickets better for my crestie? Thanks so much for all your help!
It is always recommended to gut load all prey to maximize nutritional value. Crickets, mealworms and other prey typically arrive from suppliers with a piece of fruit or gel for moisture and cardboard or simple oats for food. When you get them home, offer a high quality baby cereal mix, tropical fish flakes and fresh greens and veggies. The nutrition they receive will then be passed on to Rio. Crickets are more nutritious than mealworms, especially adequately gut loaded crickets. Less chitin as well unless they are freshly molted mealworms. If you feed a diet such as Repashy, Rio shouldn't need additional calcium unless he has a deficiency. This would need to be diagnosed by your herp veterinarian. Since you feed other foods as well, he may not be getting enough calcium, so dusting any live prey would be recommended.

What can we do to keep our Bearded Dragons crickets alive? in pet stores they use ice cubes and lettuce? can i feed them an apple or no? what can we feed the crickets to keep them alive?
You can use a piece of fruit temporarily but that may attract fruit flies or other undesirable insects. Water can be provided using a very shallow bowl or a commercial insect gel. Be sure to "gut load" them with healthy foods and supplements for 24 hours prior to feeding Lucky Man. This will maximize nutritional value. Crickets can eat cereals, dry oatmeal, nuts ad seeds. If you feed fruit and vegetables, remove them frequently to prevent rotting.

I have a small green Anole, very young likely no more than a few months old. I have Reason to believe it’s a female. She’s incredibly tiny. I bought “Baby crickets” and they were much bigger than her head. What can I feed Her so she can grow to a reg
That's a good question, because you definitely risk Mushu choking if you feed these crickets. One option is small ants. These are safe to feed and are nutritious. It may take you having to dig-up your own prey and there should be various small bugs available in natural areas. I know natural areas may not be abundant in your area, but you should be able to find some exotic pet shops that can help you find some small bugs to feed Mushu. Below is a link to some more information that should be helpful. http://www.anapsid.org/anole.html I hope that helps and all goes well with Mushu.

Can a ten month old bearded dragon eat black soldier fly larvae? If yes how often?
Yes, BSFL can be fed to juvenile beardies. They can be fed to Mateo can be fed daily. Calcium supplementation is not necessary when feeding BSFL as they are naturally high in calcium. You will still need to supplement with a reptile multivitamin. They are also known as phoenix worms and calci-worms.

Hello, here is a link to care sheet for crested geckos. I suggest you read it carefully and make sure you are doing everything correct with regards to husbandry. I think this will answer most of your questions but if not, feel free to post again. ( http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Crested-Gecko/ ) You cannot tell their age unless you know when they were born. Short of that all you can do is guess based on size.
