[QUOTE="AHBD, post: 1900986, member: 40059"] I just saw this thread and I agree. I've always fed mealworms to my guys and once had a colony going for 5 years . They are SUPER easy to raise, easy to get and easy to keep. Feeding them in the manner that you all described gives them a decent nutritional value . I would say though that it's still advisable for new beardie owners that have baby dragons to use mostly small crix, dubias + bsfl [ silkworms too if you can ] rather than mealies. It's too easy to get mixed up and offer a 6=7" dragon a bunch of mealworms that are a bit too hard to digest which may then be thrown up later or the next day. So very small dragons as well as sickly dragons do better with only a very few mealies in their diet [compared to the other types of insects] or just freshly shed mealies and not in a large amount. Larger dragons can be fed mealies along with a few other good staples. [/QUOTE]
