Worms

Hi guys, my bearded dragon is 4months old and I was wondering what are the best daily worms I can feed him. At the minute he's on locusts but I wanted to add something new to his diet. Would that be okay?

Thanks

Yeah variety is good! The locusts are a good staple. I'd try some silk worms if you can get them. Black soldier fly larvae (Phoenix Worms/Repti Worms/Calci Worms) also make a great worm feeder for the little guys and they are high in calcium.

Thanks for your speedy response, I've been out today and got him some wax worms and he seems to love them and I'll try him on some others you suggested. Thankyou again

Sounds good. Go easy on the wax worms. They're high in fat so are best used as an occasional treat. Here is some nutritional info on different feeders that may be helpful. http://www.geckotime.com/nutritional-value-of-commercially-raised-insects/
