superworms

[Hobama]

i was under the impression that super worms and meal worms were bad for baby dragons but now im not sure. I looked a bit more and it seems that only mealworms have the hard chitin. then i saw that superworms are fatty so they shouldnt be fed super often. Im kind of confused now so if someone could tell me that would be great. if i can feed them how often and how many should i feed? reggie is 3 months old.

You can feed him 1-3 size appropriate every couple of days -- you can drop them on is salads

Mealworms - Have they been demonized unjustly? | Dietary Needs | Bearded Dragon .org

I will start off with full disclosure, I used to demonize them too. My thoughts have changed, based off my experiences. I no longer feel that mealworms deserve the reputation they have with some dragon owners. I believe they can very easily fit into a healthy varied diet for our dragons...

My thoughts on superworms are pretty much inline with what I wrote about mealworms up above.

Superworms are actually the staple insect for my adult dragons, and have been for decades.

That was another good read, so much that you (and Cooperdragon) say seems it should be common sense, makes me wonder how in the world some of the crazy ideas people have, came to be.
