So the horned worms grew super fast and too big for my beardie to eat. I threw a horned worm in with her superworms and the superworms tore this horned worm up withen ten minutes gone. Will the superworms be ok to feed my beardie now? Will they be better? Is this a bad idea? Is it true that a horned worm has the protein equivalent to a pinky mouse? Thanks in advance! :puke:

I am not sure of the protein contents of the hornworm, but I know the super worms are still safe to feed. They only consumed what your beardie would have ate anyways, assuming they didn't outgrow him. Lot's of people believe you should only feed stuff to your feeders that you would to your beardie, and in this case you did just that. :p

Sounds like your supers were thirsty... or hungry. I've seen them turn on one of their own - ate him within minutes - all in a big, writhing ball. :shock: I give them greens more frequently, now.

Don't know about the protein equivalency of pinkies & hornworms. At a guess, I'd say pinkies have more. I do know that Invictus will jump his lazy behind off the floor to get a hornworm! He loves them!

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
