I think Shelby is a great name! I hope he is eating better.the Phoenix worms are great. Other worms you can try are silkworms (very good for bd) hornworms and butterworms. Butterworms are a little fatty and would bulk Shelby up a little. When he gets older cut back on the butterworms. I raise my own silkworms. You can get silkworms from thesilkwormshop.com they sell tiny and small/medium, try the tiny. Hornworms are another excellent food for bd. I get them from greatlakeshornworms.com hornworms grow very fast and grow to about 3-4 inches. For Shelby order eggs with a food cup, lay the eggs on the food in about 2 weeks you will have worms that are a good size for Shelby. To stunt their growth you can put hornworms in the fridge but only for a week or two before they start to die. Worms are high in calcium and also gives moisture to your dragon. I also get crickets from greatlakeshornworms you get 1000 for $18 so much cheaper then petsmart. You should gut load the crickets they sell a moisture cube that are good but at least 24 hours before giving Shelby the crickets you should feed them veggies that Shelby eats making the crickets that more nutritious. Hope this helps you. Good luck with Shelby
