[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2021780, member: 31715"] Because herd mentality has demonized them for decades. I've never once seen a dragon here who has suffered in impaction solely from appropriately sized superworms or mealworms. There is always other underlying issues related to husbandry. Impactions used to be a lot more common here, but it was back when proper temperatures weren't stressed as hard, when calci-sand and crushed walnut were top choices for substrates. I've said for years that superworms and mealworms are a fine feeder for reasons you've already discovered yourself. It's so engrained in the normal advice and spread everywhere that people don't even question it. When I was breeding, mealworms were a staple feeder for my [B]hatchlings[/B], along with crickets, and later into my breeding, dubia roaches. Superworms, mealworms, dubia roaches, and silkworms are [B]staples[/B] for my dragons. For growing dragons I throw BSFL to the mix. I would do crickets too if I was still housing lots of dragons. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
