I have two green anoles living together, and when I went to put in some feeder crickets I accidently dumped them all in. The anoles are in a 10 gallon terrarium, and theres five medium sized feeder crickets in with them.
If I make sure theres something there for the crickets to eat, will my lizards be safe? I tried removing the crickets but the lizards are getting stressed out by me invading their space, and the crickets are difficult to get. Any advice on how to remove them?
I just noticed that the male lizard keeps bobbing his head and puffing his dewlap out... hes never done this before I put the crickets in with him. (I've only had him for about a week or two, so maybe its just something new.) but I'm thinking he doesn't like the crickets?
How can I make my anoles feel more at home and comfortable...
I'd say my anoles are about 5-6 inches long. The crickets are a little on the large size, but they were out of the smaller crickets. (Previously, they were out of everything and I had to buy canned crickets - which the anoles wouldnt eat. So, I jumped on it when they had any sort of live crickets.) The crickets I'd say are about half the size of their heads... just a little larger.
