I am not trying to freak anyone out but I felt I should share the following information.
I just arrived home from the vet. I see a reptile specialist in Cincinnati Ohio.
Anyway he said something shocking. He says the reptile vets are seeing problems in beardies and other animals that are fed super worms. He and other vets believe that the super worms are now being fed hormones to make them grow bigger and this is causing our beardies health problems.
I would really appreciate it, if people would ask vets and anyone else who might have any information, If they have heard about this issue. MY Neato loves his supers but I will try to find a new feeder. He has been very, very sick and really feared I would lose him. I would hate to think it is from his feeders.
The vet never said the supers were the cause of his illness but he said at least 4 times that I should start to feed him smaller worms. Neato is 7 1/2 years old.
