Freezed Dried Crickets

[beardie44]

I'm about to get a bearded dragon in about a month.
My mom hates crickets so I found these freezed dried crickets at the pet store. Could I replace these for live crickets or mix them in with live crickets for a baby bearded dragon.
Thanks.

Hmm. You could try! Most dragons are a bit picky and refuse to eat any bugs that aren't moving though. So it does depend on the dragon.

Have you considered other feeders? Phoenix worms (aka Reptiworms or Calciworms), appropriately-sized hornworms, silkworms, and Blaptica dubia roaches are also good feeders for dragons. If the bearded dragon is longer than 16" you can try Superworms too. But no mealworms ever! They're not very good for dragons despite what the pet stores may try to tell people.

the mealworms are bad because it can impact the baby..and kill them!!
