Meal/Super WOrms Vs Crickets

[Jazzcoutique]

Hi,

usually i give my dragon crickets, but since yesterday she not even touch the cricket, until this morning i still can see the crickets is in the enclosure not in her stomach.

so i got panic, and i buy meal worms, and after i put the mealworms in the enclosure, not in a seconds, she came over and really eat a lot... like she really love this worms

so my question is... is it possible i give my dragon meal worms everyday ? and do i need to dust the worm too? and if this worms not so good, what should i do to bring back my dragon appetite to crickets again ?

thx for the answers

Silkworms are a good sub, the mealworms should be fed not as a staple more of a treat or addition to the silks.
And yes you should always dust your Dragon's food.

Variety is the spice of life! Always offer a little bit of everything (from greens to crickets to worms), and if you're going to do worms, either silks or supers are the way to go. Mealworms have a hard shell and can pose digestion problems. As the previous poster said, always dust, too. Good luck!

And with super worms it's best if your dragon is 16 inches long as any short may potentially cause impaction.
Supers are amazing, crickets are annoying, I stick with supers as staple and a variety of other worms for fun
