Hi everyone. I'm getting my baby beardie in about a month and trying to get everything ready. I've done a lot of reading and from everything I've read, Reptiworms are a great staple since they're high in calcium and low in fat.
I was planning to have a diet of mostly Reptiworms for my new girl but I was going to mix it up with some crickets sometimes. There's a lady that deals exclusively with feeders not too far from me and I was going to order from her.
I posted on another beardie forum and was told by a few people that I should not use them as a staple. They're not good, don't provide enough exercise or mental/physical stimulation.
And now I'm conflicted. I cannot keep crickets in the house and roaches are just not really a thing where I am. I've looked around but can't find anyone selling them and honestly? I don't think I can do it. I can't even look at a roach!!
So can I feed her mostly Reptiworms with some other insects thrown in to give her variety? This other forum confused me.
