[HELP]My roommate is taking care of my dragon for a week...

[CalBears]

My roommate is taking care of my bearded dragon while I go back home to California for the holidays. He has an arachnaphobia and crickets scare the crap out of him. He said that worms are fine, but not anything spider-like. I'm thinking about ordering phoenix worms, but I'm ignorant to them and I am unsure if they are a good diet for my dragon. My dragon is 7.5 inches long, so which size should I purchase (I'm thinking medium)? Are there any other worm feeders that you would suggest or have any suggestions for me?


Thanks for your help/advice!

Phoenix worms are very nutritious and high in calcium so you don't need to dust them. They are VERY small so I would go for the largest size available. Silkworms are also a good choice but these are a lot bigger so you would probably need small or medium in these.

Phoenix worms are great! Your roommate should use a tweezers to pick the worms out of their sawdust like bedding. Your beardie could eat 50-100 a day. So order enough to last!! I use them as a feeder.So much easier than crickets! A little more expensive though. But worth it!! Good luck! Chris

Phoenix worms are a wonderful feeder for your dragon. They're very calcium-rich so your roommate won't even have to dust them. Definitely get the large size, because they're really small. Check out http://www.phoenixworm.com to order. They give some decent deals if you buy large quantities.
