So I thought that I had placed the order for some Dubias last week, only to find our that the order did not go through today . The local pet store only has big Dubias in stock. Which would be better for me to buy, meal worms or the crickets. I should be getting my order on Thursday. Thanks in advance

I'd go for crickets over mealworms, because of the chitin that mealworms have.

I agree, crickets. Supers or calciworms are good too.

Thank you all. The local pet store only offers large Dubias, crickets and meal worms. I had read that black soldier fly larvae are a good source of calcium. Is it possible for a beardie to get to much calcium?

I agree with the above don't do mealworms, Black soldier fly are great for calcium so don't add any to them. They can get too much calcium and you will know by the hard yellow urates..
