It was fine a couple hours ago when I fed it some crickets. Then I woke up to his girlfriend telling me it's dead. Were the crickets too large? What went wrong?

I found a pretty good site explaining the kind of diets bearded dragons go by and a few do's and don'ts if you will. http://www.herpcenter.com/bearded-dragons/42168-about-950-my-1-000-crickets-died-okay-feed-alive-ones-bearded-dragon.html Edited by ObsessiveFanBoy, Aug 9 2013, 04:55 AM.

Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ (only manga I've ever read)	Well if you've fed crickets before, and you bought them from a store where they're safe, then there shouldn't be a reason why the bearded dragon died. It either choked or maybe died from old age.

My Lizard Henry passed away after I had him for 13 years. He started shedding his skin more and more and then he passed away one day.

I didn't even know those guys could choke on their food. I've never witnessed that kind of thing with the pets I've owned or had to take care of.

I think it must have died some other way. I mean...maybe it ate a cricket alive and it kinda blocked the wind pipe... Edited by POOHEAD189, Aug 9 2013, 06:33 AM.
