There seems to be a lot of nonsense about Superworms out there in the dragonosphere. I've been reading different online sources where "experts" have said:
1. You shouldn't feed Superworms to beardies less than 14" long.
2. It's OK to feed Superworms to juveniles in very limited amounts (3 to 7 per day).
3. It's OK to feed Superworms to juveniles in any amount.
1. You should pinch the heads off before feeding with Superworms because they can eat through the stomach lining if they aren't immediately killed.
2. That is a stupid myth.
1. Feeding too many Superworms can often cause an intestinal blockage that is difficult to overcome.
2. Feeding Superworms is no different from feeding any other live food.
Will some of you on the "home team" please weigh in on these issues?
I'm always in a hurry in the morning and feeding Superworms and dragon salad is quick and easy. In the evenings, I can take my time and feed Falkor individual crickets and dubia roaches in a way that makes him hunt.
