Sweet 16, superworms yay!

[erdeem]

Today Billie is officially 16, in length! To celebrate I bought her superworms and I also give her a worm dish as her present...
For couple hours, she just ignore the worms... just look at it but she just not sure what to do with that scary looking wiggles. I had to encourage her by putting her favorite silkworms on the dish, and after that she figured that out that what in that dish is FOOD... she ate 6 supers.. wow... she loves it!

I've never fed super or silk worms to my beardies, are they good for them? (not criticizing, actual curiosity)

My beardie loves silkworms, butterworms...and lately she just can't stop asking more Superworms.... I read that they are good but I don't know for sure about the nutrition, you can find out by searching on this forum. But for sure I can see Billie is gaining some weight, her color looks more beautiful (this might also because I got her a new viv with proper size, heating and lighting as well).

For me, I love superworms because It's not so expensive, last for a long time, quite easy to take care of, not like jumping crix with their stinky smell (even though I still give her crix for variation). Silkworm is good, since they are soft and should be no risk of impaction, but it is a pain in the neck to raise silkies....
About butterworms, I think this is Billie's number 1 favorite. She can jump high or run across the room for butters, but they are expensivo! I just give her butters after she is ""successfully" poop during her bath.... it's kinda potty training...and works well!
