Phoenix Worms?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if feeding almost dead/recently dead phoenix worms can harm your bearded dragon.
I don't mean like the completely black ones, but one with abit of black I guess?

I've thrown some brown ones in their dishes on occasion. They were still soft but didn't move. Mine dont usually eat those though. But I was willing to give it a try.

LOL k thank god
What about poor dried up crickets??
My beardie was super hungry for protein and went around eating all the dead dried up crickets
I feel super bad cause we had no worms or crickets left and all the stores were closed for Easter on Sunday ( wasn't thinking)

No harm no foul?
I have done that before, forgetting a holiday and not being prepared. I have trouble remembering what day it is at any given time, LOL
Actually off in a few minutes to get some worms for mine. I had plenty to feed yesterday, but am out of them now. Calypso is giving me dirty looks, LOL

Lmao!
Beardies are too funny with there little personalities
I got that exact Same stare yesterday haha
These guys can sure cost you a bundle!!

 

[LJean]

Oh yeah. The smaller the bugs the more they cost too, LOL
I am glad that Calypso can finally eat superworms. They are not expensive and lots bigger than the phoenix worms!
Though at first we had some trouble with her digesting them. She has grown a few inches since we started trying them and I also give her the smallest ones in the cup. I still feed her 2x a day because she can put away many worms.

Darn
How big does you beardie need to be for superworms???
Also what do u think the next inexpensive feeder is after crickets and phoenixworms
Butterworms look good but there pretty pricey
