Thoughts on meal worms

[MistyJulia2]

I am a new dragon owner and I have heard a lot of different opinions on feeding bearded dragons meal worms and it’s been really confusing so if anyone can help i would really appreciate it

From what I've seen they can sometimes be difficult to digest, especially for younger dragons. They aren't the healthiest option but in my opinion are OK as an occasional snack. There are better more healthier options out there such as black soldier fly larvae and silkworms.

Thank you so much for your help I think I will just feed them as an occasional treat!!

I would avoid them as much as possible. They have very little nutrition content and are hard to digest.
