To start, I know that freeze dried insects should not be used in place of a live staple food. I make that a point because I don't want this topic to be a flood of "always feed live!! no freeze dried junk!"
I would like to get some clarity on the pros and cons of both freeze dried and live insects. The obvious is that live food provides a way for beardies to hunt, and you can gut load them yourself. The obvious pro of freeze dried insects is convenience.
With that being said, what are pros and cons of both freeze dried and live insects? If anyone has any sources for their claims that would be great! (e.g. studies, expert opinions)
