Reptiworm Q's

[Rurkis]

Hello, I have a beardie that's almost 2 months old now. I have fed him crickets since I got him a few weeks back but have started to realize the "inconvenience" of crickets. I just placed a order for 200 reptiworms to see how Gunner would like them, and if they're indeed a lot easier to maintain and feed to him. (Which I hope so!)
My only 2 questions really is do I have to dust the worms in Calcium/Vitamin like I do with crickets?
And how many Reptiworms should Gunner be eatting? As stated before, he is only 2 months old. He usually eats a half bowl of veggies a day and anywhere from 15-25 crickets a day. Should I be expecting similar numbers with switching him to Reptiworms?

Any answers or help would be awesome! Thank you

Hi you'll only need to dust the worms with vitamins as they have the correct amount of calcium your beardie needs. Follow the same rule for as much as he can eat in 10-15 minutes. I used to put mine in a small glass bowl that they couldn't escape from so my beardie could pick at them throughout the day.

Just make sure to store the worms at temperature 50-60F. They will last longer and should eat as much as he will and you can just leave them in a dish made for worms that can't crawl out. You can get them for like 2 bucks at petco or petsmart the worm dish.
