I was wondering what the worms were from Flukers... Accidentally dropped one in with the bearded and he ate it, he seems fine, but I won't give them on purpose. Good idea to give the bearded pellets to the crickets, he doesn't eat much of them anyway. I did give the crickets a mustard green without washing it first and lost a good deal of them...oops..pesticides, I guess. Ours is 4 months old and beautiful!!

I know the worms turn into beetles, but I only see one beetle and no worms.
I searched the whole tub, and there's just one beetle.
:D
 
Wondered this myself about the little bugs. It turns out they are carpet beetle Larva. They are completely harmless to the Beardie. Our Kiyo goes nuts for them. The breeder where we got Kiyo from says he has been feeding them to beardies for years with no problems.

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!
