Waxworms

[Gragrac]

How many waxworms should I feed him? I just gave him two, and the look he gave me after broke my heart, but I know they can't eat too many at once. Maybe one or two a day? He's a little on the smaller side so some extra fat should do him good.

That seems perfect.. The amount you are giving him especially if he's smaller in size. Too many waxworms (because they are an extreme high fat content) can cause fatty liver disease OVER TIME in bearded dragons. I would also be aware that it can cause a dependancy on WORMS instaed of Crickets, which can be a pain in the neck to get them back to feeding on crickets, chasing & hunting their food.... Instead of the worms as a "lazy dragon" diet!
