Are horn worms healthy? I am getting conflicting Info

[Skymall007]

My bearded dragon has only been eating mealworms as of late (his choice, I keep trying other food and I've had his enclosure checked out multiple times and have confirmed he is just weird). I think he would def. be willing to try horn worms though and so I would like to get them. I keep hearing they are a wonderful and nutritious food option.

But Beautiful Dragons has them on the "feed occasionally list." I don't mind the calcium to phosphorous ratio because I use a calcium product from Sticky Tongue farms, but what about the other stuff about them? Are silk worms better? Which would be easiest to breed? I am currently breeding meal worms but Gamma really needs to eat other stuff.

Thank you guys so much in advanced

yes they are great feeders. Mealworm are the worst one out there. Superworms are better then mealworms

I made an article on popular feeder worms for beardies along with their nutritional info. From hornworms to phoenix worms to butter worms and more.
