So I started a dubia colony about a year ago, and the fact that it is doing so well is actually one of the reasons that I ended up getting a bearded dragon. Well Norman does a really great job of eating a ton of mid-sized dubias, so much so that it is getting kind of hard to pick the proper sized ones out of my roach bin. I do however have a ridiculous amount of adults.

So this is a pretty gross question, but does anyone have any ways of feeding adult dubias to bearded dragons? I tried cutting a few in half with scissors, and he happily gobbled up both ends. The butt end seemed to be a nice juicy treat but the head end seemed to be a whole lot of crunchy bits that he was chewing for a long time. This was also a pretty messy affair as you can imagine. I was thinking if there was a way to throw a whole bunch in a blender, but that will probably be way too goopy and I don't know if Norman would have any interest in eating roach soup.

How old is norman? An adult dragon can easily eat adult males. They probably can eat the females too but they have a lot more "substance" to them lol.

You know, I'm not really sure. I bought him about 5 months ago and he was pretty small then. I just measured him now and he is about 14" including tail, his body is about 6".

It is nice to know that eventually he will be able to eat adult dubias though, just have to stick through it for a bit longer.

I bought a few adults for my 1.5 y.o. beardie and he had no trouble with them. It was a bit gross, but he seemed happy :lol:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
