Hi folks,
I somehow always feel like I'm the bearer of bad news, but.............waxworms should only be given to beardies like you would give children candy........They're not considered a staple to be given as protein, waxworms don't have anything nutritious in them......I'm sure he's eating them but I'd switch them for crickets, butterworms, phoenix worms, small hornworms or silkworms. Best place to order these are from Mulberry Farms: http://www.mulberryfarms.com/faq.htm
Of course the cheapest of all these are crickets. (crickets should not be larger than the space between Spikes eyes)
An adult beardie is 18 mo. or older..................... superworms can be given if Spike is longer than 16" to 18". You can ask for smaller sizes when ordering.
It is so nice to hear that he is improving every day.
