Superworms (Staple?)

[dlquick]

Not sure on my beardies age, but she is approx 10-11”. I’m guessing somewhere between 3-4 mths.
She has a very active appetite, but only cares for her meats with very little to almost no veggie diet.
She currently eats about 10 superworms a day, and poops roughly 1-2 times a day.
She does love crickets as well, but no nearby petco, or petsmart carries BSFL, dubias, or any other reptile feeders.
They usually only carry crickets, superworms, and mealworms/giant mealworms.
What do I do? Is her diet ok?..

Her diet is DEFINITELY NOT OKAY (Its okay for the veggie portion, just keep offering but not the insect portion) . And needs to be changed to an actual staple feeder rather than basically a junk feeder. Don't get me wrong superworms have protein but they have too much fat to be considered a healthy food item for a growing bearded dragon who needs MORE protein than fat.

And yes they don't have as much chitin as mealworms do but this can cause health issues to a beardie her/his age...

Here is a feeding guide, it'll explain the staple feeders, treat feeders and salad portion a bit.

All life stages eat 10-20 bugs a feeding.
1-4 months 3x a day.
