I've looked high and low for info on how many hornworms to feed a BD if you're feeding them as a staple but can't find anything. I know a lot of people say they use them as treats bc they're pricey but they're a fantastic source of nutrition. We've been using crickets as our beardie's staple insect for the two wks we've had him but wanted to switch it up. Will try dubias soon but I ordered a cup of hornworms to try - and I'm unsure how many will fill him up/give him what he needs. (I'm pretty sure he'd eat the whole container if we let him! Lol)
Can anyone weigh in on this? Our little guy is about 15" long, kinda on the thin side, don't know how old he is. Suggestions?
eta: I see in another section that someone says they are are low in protein so they are best paired with another feeder. Gave him the last 8 of our large crickets tonight to top him off after his 3 hornworms. Hope that's plenty. Probably pick up some more crickets tmrw.
