Ive seen some people disparage the use of freeze-dried/frozenthawed insects for Bearded dragons, but rarely an explanation why, nor do people say "you could but its not best" at least.
I understand Beardies hunt/eat via sight, and that babies need live but i dont understand why they cant be switched to freeze dried. I also know freezing things can reduce the nutritional content, but cant this be supplemented via pellets/powder the same way live are? Why couldn't the manufacturers gut load before they freeze-dried them?
But if they adjust, as adolescents or adults to non-living insects, what is the real problem with it and why are so many people against it?
Obviously natural for anything is optimal and I know people do freeze-dried and pellets, it seems to be black-and-white for most people, I don't understand why they can't or won't condone this.
