My beardie is 6 inches, but all he gets is crickets. So, I was wondering what kinds of treats I could include. So far, I think next time I go to the pet store, I'll get a couple waxworms to keep for treats. Anyone know of any other good treats?

I'm sure others will respond - but NO WAXWORMS........... there's a lot of info in the "feeding" section.

yeah wax worms are ok for a treat...that is my opinion...others have there own, by baby loves them, just dont be to jenerous they are kinda addicting if feed more then a treat, some people give them at one time, i give them at the end of every meal mondays to fridays(just 1 tho)...then butter worms sat and sun, hope this helps.

When I said no waxies, it was because they are the lowest of the worms in nutrition and since you're paying $ for them, might as well have a worm with higher nutrition. Beardies are rather expensive to feed anyway.
Very High: silkworms,phoenix
High: roaches
Moderate: superworms,crickets,hornworms
Low: butterworms,mealworms
Very Low: waxworms

Waxworms are ok as a treat, but I am with neecie on this, if you are giving a treat, a healthy one is better. ;)

duckyLBT's feeding schedule for the treats is great. Just remember they are treats and should be limited. With that being said, they don't have to be the healthiest either, I just think every opportunity to introduce more nutrition is better served than "junk" food. heh

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!
