You should be feeding.g him crickets everyday not every other and saleds everyday. If u do t like them phoenix worms or calciworms are the next.best thing... Use the nutrition care sheet this site provides or just Google beautiful dragons nutrition guide.tashfonz":2zdsu71h said:So I just acquired an approximately 21/2 year old bearded dragon. I am currently feeding him salads everyday and crickets every other day. I'm not really liking the crickets and am just wondering if I can use worms instead. What kind of worms can I use. He currently gets about 1 kingworm a day as a treat. I'd really appreciate any replies as I am really new to this (have had him for only a week) and don't really have much clue as to what I am doing.
Thanks.

Actually, you would probably want to switch to Phoenix Worms or ReptiWorms, which are two different brands of the same type of fly larvae (black soldier fly larvae). Though they differ in what they are fed, their nutritional content is similar and appropriate to be used as a staple feeder and to be fed on a regular basis. Calciworms are the same type of fly larvae, but are fed a significantly different diet, and should not be used as a staple feeder, as they have very high levels of calcium (which in excess, can be harmful); therefore, the Calciworms can be used safely as a supplement or occasional treat, but not necessarily a replacement for the crickets. Just for your information.
Additionally, at two and a half years of age, you can cut back on protein intake. What you are doing now is usually suggested for adults: salad every day, and a protein source every other day. You can feed protein everyday, if he will take it, but at that age, he should be eating mostly salad (80% vegetables, 20% protein, approximately). As adults, too much protein can cause obesity or fatty liver disease.
