my crix from pet supermarket

[demiblood]

every once in a while, in my bag of crix from pet supermarket, there's one or two, sometimes three - carpet beetle larvae,

are these safe to eat?

When you buy in cricket's you can get alsorts of other creepy crawleys in there and ive had afew like long thing's, i filter them out before use, im not sure if your dragon will eat them, but they might setup home and that can not be a good thing


Hope this helps

I would not feed them! Good luck...

My dragon ate one once before I could stop him and had no ill effects, but I definitely will try not to let that happen again.

I've fed dermestid to my dragons before with no problems but really, they are better off in your cricket bin then as feeders. They eat dead crickets, left over food and shed skins, a nice way to help keep the bug bins clean.
