superworms at 14 inchs?

[cjsdragons]

so ive got 3 dragons on a "no insect" strike right now there all about 14-17 inchs and 250 grams and they refuse to take roachs at the moment its been about 2 weeks now and i was wondering if anyone else had similar issues with certain dragons?
they wont bask as much being that they have nothing serious to digest there not filling themselves on greens either but they willingly take baby food go figure...

so any ideas on why the sudden change in diet there about 5 months old and i cant seem to think of anything

Beardies would "get tired" of their favorite foods too, and would want a variety of foods.
However, being at only 5 months old, they shouldn't bet that picky yet.
Have you had their poop tested for parasites? That could explain the sudden unwillingness to eat anything but baby food (no need to 'digest').

it seems as if they all devoured superworms like there was NOOOO tommorow the one dragon ive had the most issues with literally did a 360 to catch a worm it was incredible

the only thing i worry about is those mouths on the worms those things bite hopefully the dragons digest them well

I definitely agree with Goonie - have a fecal done to check for parasites. That is exactly how Stella got with food before I got her tested, and sure enough, she had coccidia.

That being said, I have given Stella superworms on occassion since she was about 10" long. I just made sure to get the SMALL superworms.

She is 15"/250 grams now, and does fine with the regular-sized ones, but I only give them to her every few days, just to change things up a little.
