Quick superworm question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ANy suggestions on what to feed them?
 
If they are like meal worms I fed mine red potatoes and kept them in quaker oatmeal. Is the shell from super worms ok with beardeds? I heard not a lot of herps can digest it. I thought I heard somewhere that it wasn't ok with beardeds. I could be wrong but not sure.

I dunno...I believe its still under debate...I try not to feed her it often, but I'm not gonna be able to grab crickets for a bit.

Just make sure to crush the heads before feeding. It helps especially if the superworm were to bit your dragon before going down.

KK, thanks :)
 
supers are better to feed and more nutritionally sound than mealies..less chitin in the shell and they are larger..obviously.

i raised a baby dragon on supers and greens until it was 20" never had a problem. i wouldn't do it again though..supers are not cheap.
 
aren't supers very fatty too? I've read leopards can get addicted to them, I wonder if other herps could too?
 
your thinking of waxworms, the triple whoppers of the herp food world.
