earth worms

[isabelleandpaul]

Anyone of you guys given earthworms to your beardies?
Did they like them?
I just found out someone in my neighbourhood needs to get rid of some of her worms used for compost (red worms, from South America, so they can't survive canadian winter in the backyard) and offered me her extras. They are fed mostly leftover fruit and veggies. Would that be good enough, as a treat for my beardie (8 month old female)?

I would not feed them at all.

Hi...

I'm a BD beginner but found this on the web, maybe it will help

Sub-adult to adult Beardies only need to eat prey items once a day along with fresh greens. Once they are this age you can also offer them Locusts, Cockroaches, Mealworms, Waxworms, Zophobas worms, Silkworms, Butterworms, Red worms, Earthworms and just about any other worm available. All these should be used as treats though with crickets and greens being the stable part of your Dragons diet. DO NOT feed your Beardie insects that you have caught in your backyard. These bugs could have parasites that could be passed on to your Beardie or they could have been exposed to poisons that could kill your Beardie
