Cutting back on live feeders?

[sara06]

Hello! :study:

I'm in a bit of a conundrum here - my 3 (almost 4) y/o Beardie female has decided that she wants to completely reject her daily salad and instead wait for her 5 super-worms that I feed her everyday. I'm concerned that she isn't getting enough of the nutrients she needs. Should I cut back and feed her worms every second day as an incentive to get her to eat her greens?

I was thinking of trying to mix the worms into her salad in the morning but if she doesn't take then what should I do?


Your help is much appreciated, thank you!

Hi Sarah, yes you can try both of those methods. BTW, can you get any other insects besides superworms ? And what greens have you tried ? Mine like kale + collards, also turnip + mustard greens. Butternut squash, green beans + peas can be offered as well.

Hey,
Thanks for your feedback! I do have a few other feeders available that I could use but super-worms are the most convenient for me. Currently she gets kale. I've tried feeding her collards but she doesn't like them. Most often she like lettuce (I used to mix lettuce in with collards when I was running out) so I opted to kale. Mustard greens aren't available where I am unfortunately
