Juvenile sick of crickets??

[Katie007]

So, I posted a few days ago because I was worried about my 10 week old not eating as much. Is it possible for a juvenile to become sick of crickets? Im wondering because today after refusing to eat anymore of his crickets I offered him a wax worm for dessert and he ate it right out of my hand. Then, I hand fed him a good amount of dandelion greens, so he obviously wasn't full. Does this mean he's getting tired of crickets? And if so what are some of your babies favorite feeders? I was thinking about trying out dubias soon for variety, but now Im thinking maybe I should switch to them altogether. I've also tried phoenix worms and butter worms, but he'll only eat a couple before refusing them. :? The only worm I've tried that he seems to really love are wax worms but he only gets 2-3 a week. He's so picky sometimes...it's hard to give him a variety. I really want him to have a well balanced diet, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Varyin the diet is a good thing and the beardies, like us can get bored with the same old thing. Try getting silkworms, My girls love them! My first loved them every since she was a baby! They're great feeders. But I've also heard great things about dubias!

I was thinking of trying silk worms. I actually got him to eat 5 butter worms today which is a new record for him lol Im trying to find a few things he really likes and give him a couple different feeders a day.

We tried our little dude on dubias this week and he loved them! We have to ake sure we give him a couple after a few crickets though otherwise he'll just ignore the crickets after them!

I don't think I'm interested in breeding dubias, but you can buy cups of them like worms right?
