I didn't know that hornworms aren't healthy. Mine has been eating mostly just those the last two weeks. He has decided he doesn't want dubia; will sometimes have a superworm (which I know isn't the most nutritious. I did get some silk worms today. I ordered 50 and they sent me 120 so I'm going to see if I can get some to reproduce. I had just ordered hornworms which were on special buy 2 get one free. I'm going to be over run with worms!Ed707":3kd2z8w0 said:

I have had good luck with hornworms as a main live food staple for Beardies. Lord knows that Ragnar loves them and he is growing like crazy. I alternate dusting them with Calcium and Reptile Vitamins. Not sure how Hornworms differ nutritionally all that much from Silkworms. I feed Ragnar Silkworms whenever I can get them. He will eat Dubias when he wants to (and not, when he doesn't want to.)

Yeah we're kind of limited for staples up here, especially when your dragon decides he doesn't want crickets any more lol.
Luckily i was able to track down some silkworms.
