Will superworms make my problem worse?

Hi all,
I have a 9 month old dragon and lately she has been turning her head up at dubias. I started breeding them as I thought it would save money, but I guess she's grown tired of them. She eats nowhere the amount she used to, maybe 2 a day if I'm lucky. I just by chance happened to find a super in my dubia colony (I still have no idea how it ended up there) and she absolutely devoured it after refusing roaches. I'm planning on ordering some supers as I want her to eat, but will this just make my problem of her refusing dubia even worse? Thanks in advance

To be honest, it probably will. Supers are high in fat, so kind of like candy. A lot of times beardies will get a taste of worms and never look back, while others will eat anything. Try BSFL. VERY nutritious and yummy. Also, silkworms and baby hornworms (although hornworms grow VERY fast)

Hope this helped!

All of the above mentioned insects are great. The advantage of superworms is super ease of care [ a sweater box, oatmeal or bran, a few large pieces of veg. and they live for many months ] Then you can use them as you please w/out worrying that they'll die, grow too fast or morph in to something that flies around your house. :) So definitely get yourself some supers...he may like them for a while and then just as suddenly switch back to dubias as his go- to fave again [ for a while ] :)

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!
