Frozen Prey (insects)

[magicmagni]

I am going to be getting a bearded dragon in the next few months and was wondering what is people's experience with feeding frozen and thawed prey items (not freeze dried)- particularly insects? I currently gut load and freeze live crickets for my Ocellated Skink (who has been on the diet for 4 years now), but i was wondering what kind of success folks are having long term with this approach for their beardies? I am also interested in peoples experience freezing other prey items such as silkworms and phoenix worms and so on... as I intend on feeding the latter two more frequently then the crickets since they seem to be superior in nutrition.

If this is a feasible feeding strategy for my new lizard? It would save me a lot of time and money and also make for a very happy wife- that doesn't like live bugs in the house!!
