Baby beardie at risk of impaction help please

[zackbeardieowner]

My bearded dragon is around 4 months and eats only mealworms I offered him crickets and he won't eat them I don't want him to get impacted

Stop feeding any mealworms, those are no good for your dragon.

Try crickets, or baby food but no more meal worms. You can order pheonix or repti worms for your baby and if he is used to worms maybe those will work.

Keep us posted. Give him/her a warm bath and make sure the poop keeps coming!

I think you should try phoenix worms. You could get micro supeworms as a treat.

NO MEALWORMS. they are no good. The shells are hard
And are difficult to digest. Nobody on this site will suggest mealworms. If you insist they can be okay for an adult but Phoenix worms are much better.
