[QUOTE="rubi9229, post: 2020551, member: 107495"] Personally I used to give my girl superworms but she never digested them well; I would always see the worms’ heads when she pooped in the bath. It definitely can make them constipated. I personally haven’t seen the same problem with mealworms since they’re so much smaller. One of the best things that helps beardies eat their salads is bee pollen. Your girl will probably get good at picking out the worms and avoiding the greens, so it may only work for a little bit. Bee pollen, on the other hand, is like seasoning for the greens and makes them actually want to eat it. If you’re trying to get her to lose weight I think adding fatty worms to her diet might affect her willingness to eat her salad even more. They‘re best as treats unless it’s all you can get (been there, more than once). Many people have had a hard time with picky beardies who only want their superworms. I would try a healthier feeder insect like dubia/discoid roaches or black soldier fly larvae. If mealworms or superworms are all you can get, you should still get them. She needs protein. Repashy is good too. If you get bee pollen and she won’t try the salad, take a clump of the pollen and roll it on the ground near her. That’s how I got mine to finally try it and realize she loved it, because when it moves they want to hunt it like a bug, y’know? What does her diet consist of now if you don’t mind me asking?
