What worms could i use to replace crickets as a feeder?

[Brittraff]

My pet store has silkworms, hornworms, mealworms, superworms and waxworms. I really don't like the whole cricket thing, and i live in a place too cold to raise dubias. So what worm would be best as a replacement for crickets and how many would my 6-7 inch long dragon need to eat a day?

Small superworms would be a good replacement and so would reptiworms/phoenix worms. I use small supers for my juvies. You need to start off slow though. Some beardies will gobble them up quick and end up throwing them up. I would start off with 3 - 4 per day, and then gradually increase.

Here is a good website to buy them:

I'm not sure if you have a facebook, but there is a place I buy my reptiworms from that are $30 shipped for 1/4 lb, and there are a ton in there..

NEVER feed mealworms.Wax and Hornworms are more like Dragon Candy so you can use those as treats.If you wanna feed superworms you should wait until your Beardie is at least 16" long. Silkworms are perfect as staple.(Same with Phoenixworms)

you can feed small superworms.. the large ones you have to wait until your beardie is 16". They come in all different sizes.
