Phoenix Worms? Help please!

[krazylexi]

How many should I feed to my 2 month beardie? Are they healthier than crickets? How do I keep them alive? I buy about 70 crickets a week at 10 cents each, are phoenix worms cheaper? What size should I get?

I would get medium ones. They usually have alot of small ones in there also. They are soft bodied so if they are a lil big they are ok. how many depends on the beardie, give him as many as he wants to eat in 10-15 mins. I just dropped them in a little dish and put them in my beardies cage.... she goes nuts for them runs right over and gobbles them up. She is closer to 6 months old but was eating 20-30 worms twice a day. If you buy crickets in bulk you save a TON. I dont know if pheonix worms will be cheaper.... but again you would save alot if you buy in bulk. Ideally they need to be kept in a cool place around 55f, but dont stick them in the fridge... thats too cold. A wine cooler, in your garage, or in a cool basement would be best.

I have a bearded dragon who is nearly 5 months old and she can go through 100 large phoenix worms (calci worms) a day

Wait, calci worms are the same as phoenix worms? It makes sense seeing how high in calcium they are.
