How many giant mealworms can I feed my 14 inch bearded dragon at one feeding? Is it totally safe to feed my 14 inch bearded dragon mealworms?

Mealworms are not really safe for any sized dragon to eat. Their outer shells contain a lot of chitin which is hard to digest and can cause impaction. Some better worms for your dragon would be superworms(once he reaches 16 inches in length), waxworms, silkworms, or reptiworms.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
