I just ordered my first order of Reptiworms for my baby beardie yesterday and I am so excited for them to get here! (mostly because crickets are becoming annoying...)
But I had a few questions;
-I hear that the reptiworms lose their nutritional value over time, as do crickets. What can I do to keep their nutrition level high considering one order will last me a few weeks? (I was told to keep them in the refrigerator, take them out about an hour or so before feeding, and put some fish food flakes in with the worms so they can eat before the beardie eats them...?) With the crickets, I have orange cubes to keep them healthy.
-Do I HAVE to keep the worms in the refrigerator? I am afraid if I don't, they will start to become flies if some of them are old enough.
-Should I completely switch over to reptiworms and just forget about the crickets all together? Is it healthy to only feed worms? Should I feed him crickets maybe a few times a week as a treat sort of?
-I know that veggies and occasional fruits are very important. I have only had him for about 4 days now and so far he doesn't care at all for the veggies or fruit. I am going to keep trying though because I want him to be healthy. I was thinking of putting worms in with a salad and maybe it will get him to try new things.
Any other suggestions when it comes to the reptiworms? Any help will be greatly appreciated! I am very new at this so I am trying to do everything right
