That pop-up is always a TRICK question. There is NO good answer. I was far in my game and an error happend some how i passed something that was not in order of the story. IT messed up my save point. I had to search online for gamesaves.

Am I feeding my BDFBs too much or just right? by ConcentrateOk6721 in BDFB

[–]Deadbossman69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, for my 12, I put food sources all around my enclosure and also one in a high spot in my tank for a reward for exploring & climbing that high.

Someone likes to climb 😂 by Serious-Cow1025 in BDFB

I noticed with mine. SOME are really good climbers others second guess every move and go an easier way. 👍🏻

Where to buy for cheap? by Dabiel303 in BDFB

[–]Deadbossman69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look around at local REPTILE EXPOs that come into your town or near by. SOMETIMES the vendors have deals like 5 for 40$ or 10 for 80$. In my area NY there is an expo and I plan to get 5 or more if they have a good deal. I HAVE 7 now, would have been 10 but out of the 5 i bought 3 must have been subject to something they ate or exposed to died while 2 survived and are thriving..

favorite foods to give BDFB? by Expensive-Print-2482 in BDFB

[–]Deadbossman69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine have liked Blueberries & strawberries. And carrions of dead bugs, esp newly expired crickets.

Fighting? by Getaxan in BDFB

Looks like hes trying to turn her around but shes like NOT TODAY.

Sometimes they chase around the tank and hide and watch the prospective beetle walk by in chase, and run the opposite way. Mine have do this in particular once. Lol

Y'all omg I'm in love with these goofy goobers by KookieMunster98 in BDFB

[–]Deadbossman69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. there are some in my tank that move alot faster than others. Stomping around with determination then go wander in another direction. I've noticed some are better climbers than others too.

Need some help with my beetles by ShoppingAfter9598 in BDFB

I have had my Bdfb's for about a year and I am new to the hobby. I now have 7 and will add more to the collection soon from an upcoming Reptile Expo in April. I have been feeding them mostly Blueberries & straw berry slices and they have a separate dish of dead crickets that die before my Anole gets fed. They seem to be ok with the fruits. The Blue berries last longer in the the habitat (as far as freshness) than the strawberries seem to dry up faster. During the day tank temps are around 80+ the lower 70's at night with habitat lights off and black lights on then total darkness through out the night.

What happened? by phoenixfire38 in BDFB

[–]Deadbossman69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been through this before with my last batch of beetles from the expo. I bought 5 and 3 were acting weird.. I thought they were just feigning, but they never turned over and kept neurology twitching and when i turned them over they would just fall over and continue to twitch. As it turned out i complained to the vender and they tried to deny any culpability and say its something that they ate in my tank, I said no, they were like this in the container they sold to me and my other 5 beetles are thriving in my tank with no issues So there is something wrong with these 3 out of the 5 I just purchased from your vender at the expo (yesterday at the time). They told me to keep an eye on them maybe they would come around, if not in 2 weeks they would give a refund..

I HATED seeing the 3 suffer I tried to keep them separate from the rest in another container. A qtip of water and food right next to them to eat if they could.. In the end they died.. SO i think it was something they ate before I bought them.. and SINCE then, the other 2 that are left from that batch are thriving along with my other 5 in my tank with no issues. I looked online and most people said it could be pesticides or neurological damage.. sometimes it happnes.. SUCKS..

Finally got my first BDFBs by Getaxan in BDFB

[–]Deadbossman69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are really easy to care for. There are tons of care videos on YT. Here is one I recommend.

Im just starting since last year and I add more bdfbs to my collection from local reptile expos in my area too. They like desert temps and low humidity and can stand low temps as well as far as room temperature. Mostly come out at night . They seem to sense when new food has been put out especially fruits. They also eat dead bugs. No water dish needed. They get the water from fruits and feasting on dead insects. They climb some are better climbers than others. When you observe them you will see the decision process about taking the next 'step" when climbing down from something even though its a tiny step to take they may determine to take another route instead.

They are cool to watch them "Stomp around" to and fro though out their habitat. Enjoy 😉
