Vitamins with black solder fly larvae?

[mattps81]

My beardie is about 14 months old or so and is a very picky eater. For most his life I have been feeding him dubia roaches dusted with Repashy calcium plus all in one every day. But as of late all he will eat are black solder fly larvae. Should I still be giving him vitamins or calcium? He's not keen on salad either so he's pretty much just eating the bsfl daily and a couple dubias here and there. I read that bsfl dont need dusting since they are high on calcium but I wasn't sure what to do?

Thanks.

I don't usually bother dusting the bsfl. I dust the roaches though. At 14 months if he is a good weight then I would really start moving him toward a diet of veges. Try offering a bunch of different things and see if he has a favorite. Hand feeding veges sometimes helps. You can cut squash into worm shapes which can make them more appealing. If he doesn't get into the veges I'd offer a big salad every day but no bugs for a while and see if that helps him get into it. As an adult he will get most of his nutrients from veges rather then supplements on bugs. Once he digs in I'd work toward a salad daily and 1-2 bug meals per week. I've had pretty good success on that general schedule.
