I was thinking of feeding my bearded dragon super worms as a staple diet as she no longer likes crickets :( . Are they healthy to give as a staple? And ive heard they turn into beetles too which im not a fan off. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

I would avoid them as a staple because they are relatively high in fat. They are OK as an occasional feeder for an adult dragon (16'' or larger). Sometimes they go off of a food for a while but then come back to it. It can be a shed or just a mood. Keep offering them but maybe try some variety. Phoenix/Repti/Calci worms are a good option but are very small. Dubia roaches are also a good option as a staple feeder. Try small batches of each and see what she likes.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
