So I would love to use silkworms as a staple sometimes because they are pretty healthy, however, every time I feed them to my beardie they give him diarrhea. How do people who use silkworms as a staple keep them from having diarrhea?

Never had the issue w/ silk worms giving diarrhea-- what else are you feeding besides silk worms?

I'm working on getting him to eat more salad so he gets like endive, collards, butternut squash, some blueberries to entice him to eat his salad. I don't have issues with him having diarrhea when I feed him dubias. It's possible that since he's eating more salad lately thats also contributing to it.

Stop w/ the butternut squash still feed the silks and see what happens - if he is still having the diarrhea then I would say its the silk worms but squash tends to give runny stools -

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
