Mealworms for a coupe days.

Beardyguy47 · May 29, 2018

So I have juvenile bearded dragon (I think). Bought him from the pet store a couple weeks ago and have been feeding him Dubias. He ate them so fast that I ran out before I could order more. Anyway, I went to the pet store to get him small crickets, but they were all out of the small ones. The large ones were way to big. So they talked me into buying mealworms. Is this going to be alright for 4-5 days maximum? Just until my dubias get here. I’m worried about impaction.

The mealworms aren't great but offering some of them shouldn't be a big deal. Just don't offer too many at once and make sure they get chewed up pretty well. In addition to dubias it might be useful to order a container of black soldier fly larvae. They are soft and relatively healthy option to keep in the bug rotation.

I actually have some currently. Been feeding him quite a bit of those. Same thing a nutrigrubs I believe

Yep, that's the stuff. Offering a few mealies is OK as I said but I'd keep with the BSFL more heavily.
