My bearded dragon is vomiting? Please help?

[blacklotus]

I have a bearded dragon that I've only had for like 2 days. He is almost 14 inches long. I fed him probably 15 superworms in 2 days. Today when I get up he is vomiting up the worms everywhere?? What should I do? Is he going to be ok? Is there anything at all besides greens that I can feed him as a staple besides crickets? Please help me with a detailed answer, I'm really worried..thanks

How much time do you give him between last feeding and lights out at night? Kinda sounds like a combo of ate too much and not enough time to digest properly. From what I have read beardies should be 15 inches before having supers and even then only like 3-4 at a time to start with so deffinitely sounds like he ate too much and did not digest right. How are your temps? What lights are you using?

My tank is 48X24X24 and the hot side of the tank is 108 degrees, the cool side is like 78 degrees. I fed him probably like 8 at a time or so. He had many hours before lights went out to bask..probably like 6-8 hours. I use a zoo med basking light. Thats my only light source. I have 2 reptisun 10.0 coming in the mail this Tuesday by the way... So what do you think is wrong now that i gave this info?

I'm really new so others will have to chime in, I do not know if such a short time without uvb can cause this or not. I am also getting my reptisun next week. I do not know that I will ever feed superworms, I have heard they can bite your dragon, they can be hard to digest, and they creep me out lol. I would try feeding fewer until he is used to eating them though. . .

Sounds like he just ate too many too quickly. I've seen it happen before, he should be fine in a day or two. Give him plenty of water and cut back on the supers,like was mentioned. Beardies love 'em, but they gobble them up so fast, sometimes not chewing all the way. He should be fine.
