We were having fun feeding Spike cockroaches,..... yes baby bearded dragons eat cockroaches. The roaches are not actually as bad as you may think. They are fairly small and kind of look like reddish potato bugs. The best part about the roaches is they do not make any noise, the alternative food source, crickets, have to be kept in the garage because their 'chirping' is not very soothing at 2:00 am. So far we have enjoyed Spike as a new addition to the family. He inherits the habitat of Puff and since we all like watching him attack his food he gets plenty of attention.
