o ok. well i think im going to order some super worms, in the next couple weeks, what website should i use?

P.S. thanks for all the great info everyone! It really helps..

I order my supers from Flukers.

http://www.flukerfarms.com/mealworms-live.aspx

The price you can't really beat. 1000 for 7.75.

But please make sure your beardie is at least 15" before you switch to these as a main staple. You may be better off ordering some pheonix worms.

yeah i just found this website http://www.wormman.com/pd_phoenix.cfm and they seemed cheaper and better, and easier to take care of... they sound like their all around better!

don't use worm man! i've heard he takes the money and doesn't deliver the product! (only word of mouth tho )

o ok! thanks for the info, yeah i really cant afford to pay for worms that i wont get lol... so is there another suggested website for phenox worms?

 

[ajkry2]

i got mine (the one order that i put in) from phoenixworms.com i think.

they're an expensive alternative to other worms, but highly nutritious.

Defiately go ahead and spend the extra money for pheonix's when u can, your baby is in a crazy growth phase right now and you cant beat the nutritional value of pheonix worms. When he hits the 15-16" mark you can definately switch over to superworms and save yourself TONS of money. Like I said before I've always gone thru flukers for my supers and they've never let me down to date. Every shipment of 1000 I got might have had 5-10 deadloss.

Good luck!

I order all my bugs from bugorder.com Its a place in Alberta Canada, and i can keep her crickets alive for a long time. Her prices are pretty good and she ships every week. The biggest problem with crickets is that their lifespan isn't that long. I'm from canada and roachs are illegal here, so it really limits what Gib can eat. I have a cricket keeper and it works amazingly well for my crickets.
Good luck!

Ah my last post was a brain fart... tends to happen you have a five year old and two year old running around attempting to destroy the house.

Just goto http://www.flukerfarms.com and click the superworm link, 1000 large worms are 20.00.

But I would stick to pheonix worms right now seeing as your beardie is either at or under the 8" mark. Supers right now would cause more harm than good. If you fed him supers right now you might have a case of impaction and that right there is a big headache, can get costly at the vets, and even take your beardies life.

o ok, thanks, does anyone do phoenix worms breeding? i talked my cousin into maybe starting a bug collection for me, since im a lil scared of them, and my dad would never let me. but i have to supply my cousin mike with the stuff to breed them. I need a bug that isnt too nasty, that my beardie can eat at his age now... and that isnt costly to start, and can be easy to take care of, ( i know thats alot to ask for in bugs, idk if its even possible to get all that in one type of bug)??? Does anyone know exactly wat i need to breed bugs, what i really need to kno is where to even begin lol...

 

[ajkry2]

from what i hear, breeding PWs is a pain. technically they're a soldier worm maggot... I would suggest against breeding PW's...

try breeding dubias, crickets, or supers -- they're much easier. here's a few links to get you started:
