- Beardie name(s)
- Ardbert
As a quick disclaimer, I'm still playing things safe for the most part and not giving Ardbert anything bigger than the space between his eyes (which is presently a little over an inch), but he generally loves his big boy bugs (i.e. 1" dubia).
It is unfortunate then that he is presently a bit crazy for superworms after (yes, again) going over a month without them and I don't think any local place sells them smaller than large (which are the big 2-2.5 in ones) and while I've got an order in for some mediums (1-1.5", because the ones that were about 1" in my small shipment seem more an appropriate size than the barely visible tiny ones, lol), I am curious if a 14 in long 4 month old juvenile beardie who chews his food very thoroughly (seriously, I've seen him working a large roach his mouth and tongue into a proper bolus once, and he chews even really tiny bugs a bit) can handle the standard large mealworms that are everywhere or if it's still better to wait until he's 16 in long?
