[beardieluver]

Anyone heard of Great blue worms as food for beardies? My local reptile store (not petsmart or petco) suggested them . i tried them out and my beardie loves them. just wondering what you have to say about them. thanks

Are these ok for a baby beardie? I will do anything to get his appetite up he is still only eating once a day.

 

[beardielover17]

as long as they are smaller than the space between his eyes they make a great healthy treat

 

[staylor]

I will have to try them...thank you

Did you try wax worms? Normally, they would only be used as a treat but if he isn't eating much they can help keep his weight up. They're also fairly small so safe for a young beardie.

neither of ya'll are color blind. the worm's color is dependent on what it is eating.

Darn... now I can't tease no more... rats.

What do they eat to turn blue. The ones I have are eating mulbery mush.

I give him Phoenix worms but he is not a fan of those either.

Man I was enjoying the color blind banter.
