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.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
