How do i cure these ailments...

Give her a warm bath every day or every other day! i do and mine poo's every day! weekly poo's is not sounding good! x

Ok ill try that but what bout my beardie not eating her greens? and is meal worms apprpriate for a 8 or 9 month old beardie?

well meal worms arnt the best things to be giving them! But you could put some on her salad to get her to eat some greens! crickets and locust are better meal worms do block them up stopping them from pooing! I dont have trouble with that and mine is on super worms locust and crickets!

I know that meal worms are the cheapest thing to buy to feed your beardie but they are not very nutritious and are mostly hard shells with little inside. You can get crickets or other worms online for way cheaper than the pet store. If you buy them in bulk they are the cheapest. You can get 1000 crickets for only 20 dollars from http://lllreptile.com/ that may seem like a lot but if you have a young dragon they should be eating anywhere from 30-90 crickets a day! so if you do that math that is only around 2 weeks of food. Do you dust your mealworms with calcium or a multi-vitamin?

Phoenix worms are also cheap and very healthy for your beardie http://www.phoenixworm.com/servlet/StoreFront

check out http://mulberryfarms.com/ for butterworms, silkworms or hornworms (if you have an older beardie)

Also make sure to feed things like butternut squash, collard greens, mustard greens or turnip greens. these can all be found at any large grocery store.

Ty alot. so ur saying meal worms stop him from pooing cause ive been worrying about his poo. how much are pheinix worms and how much are super worms.and ty alot but should i feed my 9 month old beardie super worms or pheonix worms.

Try Phoenix worms. Super worms are probably too big. If you go to the PW website it will tell you how much they are for the amount that you want. Start off with a small amount incase he dosnt like them. Get the medium sized ones.
