Reply To: CRICKET CONTEST-BUDDY AND MESA WHEN THEY WERE SMALLER

Yes, definitely continue to offer superworms and crickets together. Superworms can be offered when you are sure that the beardie is big enough to consume them safely. It is best to err on the side of caution to avoid choking or compaction. Always offer crickets or dubia roaches that are well gut loaded in addition to superworms or mealworms. Mealworms are difficult to digest as they are mostly chitinous exoskeleton, containing little nutrition. Beardies have a very short digestive tract, so crickets and roaches are often a better mainstay. When he is full-grown a pinkie occasionally is a nice alternative to insects. They are a good source of calcium, but are also very fattening, so more than one per month is not recommended.
