Crickets

[Drakadraconum]

Have recently got a dragon for the first time and on the advice of the previous owner am feeding him black crickets. when I bought then some of them have died and others have died in the tank since. do dragons like dead crickets or should I be throwing away the dead ones?

Hey there,

My bearded dragon, Mojo, will not touch anything dead. He will only eat live insects, he won't even eat dead ones that come in cans or those pre-made diets. I do not like the look of dead crickets so I just throw them out. I do not know if they possess any kind of health risk but I would throw them away. Congrats on the beardie!

thanks Lilhuz for your advice. Yesterday I did get my bearded dragon to have a few dead crickets will see how it goes today if he doesn't like them then I will throw all the dead ones away
