Pheonix Worms- Input?

[abigailjeanie]

I have a two month or so old beardie. He is having minor poop issues with crickets, and is much too lazy to chase them (he's active and all, he just prefer his food is served to him.) My local pet store also runs out of the pinheads about a day after they get them, and the day they are in is completely sporadic.

I've decided to switch him to Pheonix Worms. He could use the calcium and they'd be much easier to feed to him and keep alive. Are they a good staple? Can you feed them in the tank without worry of them eating him? If they are a good staple, I'd love the link to purchase them.

Yes a great staple. Don't need to worry about them biting your dragon or anything like that.

Honestly the best staple I believe are Dubia roaches. They are meaty, fairly slow, don't jump and climb about as well as a fat kid with a broken leg. I just drop em in front of Harley and she grabs em. Phoenix worms are good too. I'm using Reptiworms atm as well as crickets to give her a variety. As for leaving them in the tank, should be fine assuming the worms and dish are dry so they cant crawl out. Google or Bing Phoenix worms and you should get a bunch of links or just go to Phoenixworm.com. How large is your beardie cause at 2 month, he should be eating around 3/8 inch stuff. Harley is about 10 weeks old and she gobbles down 3/8 dubias and crickets and medium worms with no problem and she's about 8.5 inches. He might not be chasing them cause they are getting hard for him to see. I know Harley generally ignores the small worms and crickets if they are under 1/4 inch although dubias of any size up to just over 3/8 inch, she will trample her own mother to get at em :lol: Anyways i'm rambling now but yes phoenix worms can be a staple but remember, variety is the spice of life.

I'll be mixing it up with Pheonix worms and pinheads. He should eat as many as he wants with 10-15 minutes with the worms as well, correct?

Yes, twice to three times a day.
