So this is a really controversial topic in my opinion. But what are your thoughts on feeding hard shelled insects like those to your bearded dragons. I currently stand not to feed those to my older dragons but only to my little picky dragon. My reason being is that because there is chitin in the skin of those worms it is non digestible and can lead to impaction. The store where i got my dragons says not to feed them mealworms or superworms at all. However the store across town where i got my geckos says that you can feed them to young dragons without a problem. I asked for their reasoning and they said that as the dragon grows its gut will grow and anything that was previously stuck will leave the body. Im curious to hear your inputs on this topic... just keep it civil!! :wink:
