I got my beardie last February from an exotic pet store near me that specializes in reptiles. I trusted them because they knew a lot about reptiles and they weren't a "chain pet store". Anyway, they told me that my bearded dragon should be eating super worms as an everyday insect, now I find out that super worms are very fatty and not very good for beardies. ( The pictures are from the day I got her, and then here today.)
1) Does anyone know of a good stable worm I can feed my beardie?
2) She is now 12 months old and a bit overweight should I still be feeding insects every day? along with greens
Hello, and welcome to the wonderful world of beardies! I'm sorry to hear about your experience, sadly this isn't uncommon to hear. To help her lose weight, get her to eat more greens/less protein. If you'd like to feed worms, the only really great ones are silkworms or Phoenix worms (also know as Repti-Worms, Calci-Worms, or Black soldier fly larvae, all the same thing).
