Feeding beardie on a superworm staple diet?

[Mysticsilk]

Supplemented with calci/d3 powder and some calci worms 3 times a week, does this sound ok to you? my bd is 13 inches but I have been feeding him supers/morios for 1 month now, mostly medium in size and he has not had a single problem, in fact he has thrived. Im just curious because I heard they can be fatty but I hated -> crickets as they kept escaping under his carpet..

thats great at some websites they have smaller size supers. supers are my 2.5 yr old beardies staple. they are fed sun-fri once a day(I skip tues bc of the supers they get on sun.) for all those 5 days and on sunday i put in 50 supers which they finish in 5 mins they r large supers then tues to fri they get salad. supers are great instead of crix. :wink:

Edit. I put 50 supers in on Sunday which they finishnthen they're full for monday then tues to fri they get salad. U do also wanna offer crix every now and then.

Thx for the advice, I may offer cricks or roaches every couple of months.

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread but, how many supers should I let my Beardie eat per sitting? He eats collard and mustard greens Mon thru Fri, on Sat and Sun I feed him supers. As of now I feed him eight on sat and eight on sun, followed with greens in the evening on both days. He is a couple years old. When I'm done feeding him he seems like he could easily go for more, but one time I gave him 15 supers and the next day half of them were regurged in his tank, so I figure I gave him to much. All temps are good in my tank.

Thats good. Superworms are quite filling. They are quite nutritious too. Regurgitating is a common thing when beardies eat things like supers very fast. It's nothing to fret, just give him a break for a while maybe a day or so. Try offering him crickets or something for a week. Good luck, hope this helps.
