Butterworms?

Reptilelady · Sep 1, 2017

Hello everyone,
I give my beardie a mix of dubias and BSFL occasionally crickets. Wanted to know if butterworms is good to feed him? If so, where do you buy your butterworms? Trying to offer a variety for him.

Thanks

Butterworms arekind of a 'healthierish' waxie. You can buy them online at rainbowmealworms.com or dubiaroaches.com (I think).

Butterworms are fine occasionally, you can also try hornworms. I get them from the same site.

Ok so its better to get them smaller quantities and use as treats basically? Also, hornworms are okay to feed to 4/5 month beardie?

Yes, I would start with the smallest size. They grow extremely fast. You can let them grow for a day or two if they are too small, plus you get more count with smaller sizes for the price. If you want to slow down their growth you can put them in a cooler place like a wine cooler, not the fridge though it can kill them. You can keep butterworms in the warmest spot of the fridge though.

If you want the hornworms to grow fast you can keep them in a warm place, like the cool end of your enclosure (80s degrees)
