Hi All,
I have a question. I have a juvenile bearded dragon. :lol: I went to the local pet store to get some superworms for my beardie, they were suggested by the people on the introductions page, and ran into quite a problem. I went to the store I always go to for my reptiles and got my crickets, dust, reptile carpet, and proceeded to go to get the worms when a employee stopped me. She asked me what I was going to feed the superworms to. I replyed that I was going to feed them to a bearded dragon and she then told me that I could not feed them to my beardie. She then went on to say that the superworms had pinchers and a hard shell that would slice my beardies stomach and kill him. She said that the only animals that they will sell superworms to to eat are reptiles with teeth. She then proceeded to hand me a container of giant mealworms and tell me to feed him these they are better. I stunned said ok and purchased and left. I was told by many people that the pet stores will give you false info and lead you in the wrong direction. What is the truth to the superworms and are they safe to feed to beardies? :dontknow: :dontknow: I am sooo confused. Please someone let me know.
