Are locusts bad for my baby beardie (9 week old)

[MyDraco]

ive been reading all sorts of diferent threads on the internet about locusts being bad for baby beardies about the exo skeleton been too tough and can cause impaction.

i recently changed from crickets to locusts as he went off them, my beardie is about 8 1/2 inch long and im using the smallest locusts.

Thanks

I feed locusts as i prefer them and so does my beardie. Ive been feeding him them for about 5 months now on and off and never had a problem.

As long as there no bigger then the space between his/her eyes you will be fine

There'll be no problem, as long as you observe the "distance-between-the-eyes" rule.

My dragons all prefer roaches, though.
