How old do bearded dragons have the be to eat superworms? My beardie is about six months old and I would really like to start a superworms farm, but I have heard that they can't digest very well, but I just don't know what age they can eat them at. He used to eat supers just fine but then I heard they aren't good for them, and I switched to crickets, but he has recently stopped eating crickets, but that is possibly from traveling.

I say about a year, at least they are able to digest it better. super worms are good as treats and not a staple.
i used to feel Lizarto just supers and she started to lose her color, i was so scared. but when i started to feed her crickets and roaches, she was more alert and active and she got her color back, cause her system was not blocked as the supers had a hard exe- skeleton. and it made her impact at one point.

Try ordering dubias online. They last MUCH longer than crickets, don't die, don't stink, don't make noise, easy to care for, and aren't super ugly.

If he ate them before he can still eat them. All my dragons I personally raised were easily eating superworms by 13-14" long, just not the largest ones [ they can be cut in half ] and not a lot of them at once. Any dragon can get a bit constipated no matter what the diet is, too many insects at once can contribute to it as well as not having enough hydration or not basking long enough. Some dragons go poo less as they get bigger, and may take longer between and still not be actually impacted.


So don't get rid of the supers, just feed him a few a day and offer the other insects as well.

great thank you! i really wanted to get some dubias, but sadly i live in florida, so if i were to get roaches i would have to get discoids, which i have been told are still very nutritious.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
