superworm question

[Bobbijo2u]

at what age or size is safe to feed a bd superworms and how many a day or week is standard?

My dragon started taking super worms around 6 months of age, and he would eat up to 10-15 in one meal. We didn't follow any recommendations on this - we just went by him, reduced his crickets and increased his veggies concurrently. He did great on them. Our vet recommended giving the super worms brightly coloured vegs like red peppers to help with his vitamin intake.
That is just my experience, hope it helps

16 inches should be the minimum size your dragon is before you start feeding superworms.
Due to their high fat content, I'd limit superworms to around 5 or 6 per day and use other feeder insects if more protein is required in the diet.
