Superworms

[shlanktree]

After reading a post about superworms it got me wondering. . . .
How many supers do you offer at a time? I am worried with the hard shell and impaction should I be? I only usually give mine 4 at a time a few times a week.

If your dragon is well hydrated, impaction shouldn't be an issue. I usually give about 4 or 5 before they give up.

What patsy said^
Apollo eats as much as I put in front of him so I cut him off around 10 then he pouts at me.

 

[julescoffman]

Mine too! He eats about 8-10 a day,I have never had a problem with impacting..their outer shell is not as hard as a mealworm..i don't give him mealworms,just supers,horns and phoenix worms..

 

[DanielE]

Mine eat like 30-40 at a time lol. Granted I dont trust them with big ones yet so they are just millworm size lol.

 

[suzy]

Mine will usually eat whatever I will give them. I was going by the all they can eat in 15 min but I has to cut them off way before that they were at 25 and still eating.

 

[julescoffman]

Yea I have to cut Si off or he will eat them till he pops I believe!

Huh?! /\

I think she meant she lost her bearded dragon in the woods yesterday.
Im sorry
I almost lost one of mine outside once. I then got harnesses for them.

 

[drzebra]

Yeah, I couldn't make heads or tails of that post, either...

 

[PatsyB]

She's not from the US. Daniel is right she lost her dragon.

@kristen.higgins2 so sorry for your loss. Having a bearded dragon die is one thing but having one run away has to be even more heart wrenching knowing it's still out there. Hopefully, by some chance, he makes it back home.

Do you guys use superworms in place of crickets?

I do. Dexter won't eat crickets and for awhile Luci wouldn't eat them either. I still have to buy crickets for my frogs so I still try to offer them to Luci. Sometimes he will eat them and sometimes not.

 

[RaidenMarshall]

Pretty much, he gets roaches and supers and doesn't seem to be tired of them in the slightest

 

[drzebra]

I do too. I can't stand the nasty things (crickets, that is) and Fenchurch is ambivalent toward them at best. At my local pet shop, superworms are only slightly more expensive, so I go that route.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae is what I use. For my hatchlings to my adults. You don't have to feed them.

My son's beardies are about 9 to 10 inches long. Does he have to wait until they are over 15 inches to feed them supers? What's the best way to get them to eat crickets? It seems like they are not interested at all.

I believe you can feed them supers at 10"
Phoenix won't eat crickets now that I've have him super worms and dubia roaches which is fine by me because they're a lot better than crickets

Thanks. The breeder fed them dubia roaches. I guess I will have to find a supplier for the dubia roaches and super worms.
