Any tips on how to feed a Beardie Calci Worms

I’ve bought some Calci Worms which are in soil and they come out covered in it. Do I need to rinse every worm before feeding or is there another way

Normally I would just flick/rub the dirt off of the worms and give them to my dragons, never had a problem with it.

I try to remove as much as I can. If offering just a few I brush them with my hand. If I need to offer a lot I rinse them in a sieve. Try to dry them a bit after rinsing them though. They become good climbers when they are wet.

I go the trouble of fishing all the BSFL out of the "dirt' by hand and place them in some dry coco peat when storing them.
Those I plan to use inside a week I place in an empty plastic takeaway tub (which has airholes in the lid) , they will dry and clean each other by crawling over each other.

I tend to hand feed my BSFL and flies to my skinks and dragon. I snip the worm's head off to give the lizard a taste of the yummy stuff inside else they refuse to eat them.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
