Juvenile beardies eating supers

[DylanFreeman]

Hello all. My bud Rep is 9 inches long and around 3-4 months i think. I bought superworms on a whim today at the store because they were so cheap. Can i cut up the worms into small pieces for treats when holding him? I dont think that this would cause harm

He may still be a bit small for supers. In addition to the size, they have a hard shell that can be tough to digest for the little ones, especially if they eat a lot of them. A better bet would be to get a soft worm for a treat. Phoenix Worms and silk worms would be good choices. You can keep the supers in a small bin with a bedding of superworm chow (looks like sawdust) and put a few pieces of chopped carrot on top occasionally for moisture. They'll stay in the bin until he's older and ready for them. I've kept my supers that way for over a year now. They're in the clear bin to the left of my dubia colony. You can get the chow where you can buy supers. I got mine from Linda's Gone Buggie.
