Mealworms

[LarryTheLizard]

What does everyone feed their beardie? I feed my girl mealworms, and I raise baby mealworms to turn into darkling beetles as the beetles are a better source of nutrients and whatnot.
i just got some live ones from Walmart and this is the alive and dead ratio, for reference there’s supposed to be 32 in each package.
24 are alive and 10 are dead. Better than usual, most of the time I get more dead ones than alive ones.
The babies are so small compared to my finger.

Oh wow, I’m happy that Taco is happy and healthy!!

I'd attribute it to a likely good breeder and pet store (he's from a specialized reptile pet store, all the reptiles there are kept on par, look superb - don't know very much about the breeder, however), good care (I've read a lot here before getting Taco ) - and a portion of luck.
I hope it stays like this, but of course you'd never know. Even a beardie kept well, from a good breeder and pet store could have underlying genetics issue only showing up much later. That's why I also keep reading all the health-related topics just in case.
