Recently ordered a shipment of crickets from Fluker Farms and when i opened it, there's at least like a dozen of these small fuzzy black works crawling around with like 3 beetles in there.. I think the worms turn into the beetles but are the worms safe to give to the beardie..? Never had this happen before except for 1 time when i had like 2 worms in there from Armstrong Crickets, but easily plucked them out. This time it just seems like they're everywhere.

So there's the question, are they safe for the dragon or are they a no-no?

they are more than likely the cleaning crew in your crickets..they eat the waste products of the crickets and keep vegetation mold and crud down..I dont feed them to Emily or Geico I keep them in the cricket tank.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
