Stop feeding mealworms and eventually it will get hungry enough for crickets.

Also making sure your husbandry is perfect will help. Proper lighting and temperatures play a huge role in appetite.

Instead of meal worms, maybe try baby super worms. They are roughly the same size and much better for them.

Just to let you know, lettuce isn't good for them. It has poor nutrition in it. And, it shouldn't be used as a staple. Good veggies to feed him are collard greens like mustard greens or dandelion greens. Kale is good too. :D

It can be for juvenile beardies as food and adult beardies for treats.

OK thanks! I think I keep seeing mixed reviews on the superworm topic.
Can adults eat meal worms as a staple protein?

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
