Ok I'm in a tough situation here I'm 17 years old I don't have a job to pay for my Bearded Dragons food right now so my Dad pays for my Dragons food for now. He just told me he can't afford the crickets anymore so hes going to take Petcos advice and feed him Mealworms instead of crickets! I told him mealworms cause impaction yet he won't believe me because he seen a bowl full of mealworms at petco in a Bearded Dragon tank that were doing just fine so he assumes its going to be okay. I told him about ordering crickets online is cheaper than petco and he won't let me because he doesn't trust ordering stuff from online and argues with me saying the crickets would just arrive all dead. Is there any type of bug that Bearded Dragons can eat instead of crickets that are cheaper? I honestly would pay for this stuff on my own but with this economy I can't get a job to buy crickets! My father thinks hes smarter than me in this situation but he is sooo not because I've done my research I guess its time like these that the son outwits the father?
