Recently my bearded dragon got bitten by crickets and they made a hole in him. I got all the crickets out, and made sure he got some rest. The next day I woke up to find these weird things that might've been caterpillars. They were small, black and hairy. There were 3 of them on his back.

Just go to the vet ASAP. He could have an infection. especially if crickets were INSIDE him. I suggest VET ASAP and switching to Dubia Roaches, or hand feeding crickets so they cant bite him

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
I thought Tracie had already responded to this and said to fill the hole w/ raw unpasteurized honey--here is her response
Oh my goodness, I haven't seen a cricket bite like that, poor dragon!
Have you cleaned out the tank to be sure there aren't anymore in there?
You can get some raw unpasteurized honey, or, antibiotic ointment & literally
pack the hole, filling it with one of those agents, to keep dirt & debris out of
it. Hopefully that will help ward odd infection.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
