New feeder insect

I introduced my bearded dragon (six months old) to meal worms. Now he's refusing crickets or only eating one or two and he only wants meal worms is this just him being picky? Should I be worried?

Bearded dragons seem to LOVE mealworms, so I would continue to offer crickets and he should start accepting them again. I really don't think they're is much to worry about, as long as they're eating enough protein. Also if you need to supplement some protein (can't get bugs; won't eat etc.) you can try feeding them some scrambled eggs which are great for bearded dragons, and provide good nutrients and protein as well hope this helps!!

But in this case it just seems your little guy is a little picky, so no worries, but make sure to keep them fed
