Hello! I have a 3.5 year old Bearded Dragon, and recently I've been doing Bi-Daily feeding with him since he's been putting on weight rather quickly with daily feeding, and I can't afford very many things outside of Mealworms and Superworms with the nearest reptile store (Still live w/ my parents, am unemployed, and in school. I'm very limited.)
All I can really afford as of now is Superworms, since I can feed him less of them at a time. I know they are extremely fattening and high in protein, but would it be ok/better too keep feeding him every other day?
I've been doing it for about two weeks now, and there seems to be no change in his behavior, He's actually gotten more active with the change, but I don't want to unintentionally harm him, he's my heart and soul.
This will not be a permanent diet for him. Once I can afford it, I'll be immediately adjusting him to a much healthier and balanced diet.
I just want to know if it will suffice as a temporary diet, perhaps for another few months, if not, a year at most.
Just to preface any questions about the limited diet, my parents do not like keeping his greens in the family fridge, and my personal mini-fridge does not function properly and cannot keep any greens fresh/good for anymore than a day or two even with proper storing because of the occasional malfunctions with the cooling system. My relationship with them is not the best, and I do not enjoy pushing things due to personal reasons.
