I know what most of you guys are gonna think:
"Its beetle larvae and they act as a cleanup crew."
But this is actually something different.
I started noticing small white worms (about 2-3 millimeters long) squirming around the cage. Everywhere I look on google, it keeps talking about horsehair worms, but these aren't horsehair worms. They look kind of like pinworms, but they have small heads, and fat, round bodies. These small white worms have killed off almost all of my crickets. I can provide pictures if needed. (I'm new to this forum, and I am clueless about how to post pictures) These parasites are obviously dangerous to crickets, but my biggest concern is whether or not these parasites can harm my beardie. What if she ingested one of these parasites? I really need your guy's help.
Please and thank you,
