    I'll be going away for a few days and need to make feeding easy for the person caring for my beardie. Would it be okay to store BSFL for a few days without their usual medium/substrate?

    Hornworms - how many?

    How many hornworms should I be feeding my juvenile (4 month) beardie each week? Recently started him on Phoenix worms as his staple, and supplementing with hornworms. Just wondering if there's a limit on the number of hornworms, as he sure does love them! Id like to give 2/day, but not sure if...
