[MarkCheck]

I let my BD eat sum phoenix worms n he love them in fact he went crazy from so that was 2days ago and now he wont eat the crix i put n there but he is eating his green now cuz he know the worms are in the same bowl.

So my question is it ok that hes not eating the crix can i jus give him PW for now since he is eat his greens 2 get to them

PWs have a good protein/fat ratio so yes, they can be fed as a staple. Our girl refused crickets for a time after we introduced PWs, but we still offered them however, and within a few weeks, she was mad for the crickets again also. I believe the PWs really helped to stimulate her appetite in general, and in time the PWs became "not new" and beardies--like many of us--tend to like some variety in their feeders. She has been eating one meal of each happily, for months now.

The best,
Em

That's great. "The moving salad" really can be a great help in getting them to eat the greens. We've had good success with this as well and none too soon... she's 10 months for goodness sakes!

Because phoenix worms are high in natural calcium, and your dragon is eating a good deal of them each day then no, I'd say no need to dust with calcium (salad or worms). However, you do want to powder worms (and salad also if you like) with multi-vites 2 meals per week, so that beardie is getting regular vit. D3 along with other vitamin supplements.
