Not open for further replies.
Ok about a moth ago there was an issue with the store selling meal worms. Well they started selling them again so I bought them. Well My beardi has just thrown up all his food after he drank some water and has been makin kind of gagging sounds (hes more calm now) but i want to know if this has happen to anyone else and if I should go to different source of food for his protien?

Should have mentioned this in your other thread rather than making multiples since it's all part of the same issue. ;) It's hard to say why he threw up, but you shouldn't be feeding him mealworms. They don't have a good meat-to-shell ratio, so not only is he not getting very much nutrition from them, there's an impaction risk. This is a good site for their nutritional needs- http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html

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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
