Reptiworms and Bearded Dragon Bites?

[doe222]

i just orderd 500 large reptiworms from reptiworms.com (supposedly they are the best reptiworms according to this forum) and i was doing a bit of browsing on thier site and saw these Bearded dragon bites. What exactly are they? are they like a "commercial food" or are they treats? are they somthing to offer along with reptiworms/salad? it doesnt do a whole lot of explaining and if caesar likes these worms i will be doing alot more ordering from this site.

They are like commercial/processed food.

I don't use them.

Bugs and salad works well enough for me.

they are a commercial diet and work well if your beardie will go for them, my beardie sometimes eats them but not so much anymore, I have better luck with reptiworms and veggies

Most beardies won't touch the commercial food, but I mix some in with the salad - it sticks to the moist greens, and I figure that a little more nutrition can't hurt.

http://www.phoenixworm.com is also a great place to get them.. phoenix worms are the same as repti worms. http://www.reptiworms.com is cheaper though for those trying to find a great price. If your beardy hasn't had any of these before DONT buy alot, get the 150 count to try out.. I bought 600 and he doesn't hardly touch them so im just waiting for them to die small size is great size for a 6 inch baby beardy

i bought 500 for his first time because he eats everything so figured why not. and if he didnt like them a buddy of mine breeds sugargliders, owns 6 leopard geckos, 4 crested geckos. and a few other reptiles that i cant name right now. so i knew id be able to do somthing with them He refuses to get a beardie tho ive told him so many times its way better than his dumb geckos

hahah. Id honestly have a beardy then any gecko. I was even thinking about a gecko but decided on these lil guys.

I'm a big fan of beardie bites (as I call them). According to my vet, they're a good source of supplemental protein. Even better, they're 92% water, so if your beardie is like mine & refuses to drink water or eat moistened greens, they're a great way to help keep him hydrated.

 

[doe222]

he only eats stuff that moves except his greens that i have to top with somthing stinky like a piece of melon or somthing to convince him its real food. so how do i get him to eat it? and those vibrating food dishes anyone know about those? are they any good?

He may not need much convincing. Beardie bites are the *only* things other than Phoenix Worms that my beardie doesn't have to be tricked into eating. He's incredibly picky. If your guy likes melon, I think there's a fair chance he'll give these a go. They smell like (and supposedly taste like, but I haven't tasted for myself ) prickly pears. I think they smell pretty nice, actually.
