eeewww....If it were me I wouldn't feed them to my beardie. Who knows what they are? Call your supplier and tell them and maybe they will ship you a new batch for free. Then again maybe they are harmless but I wouldn't want to take a chance. Glad you are feeling better!

Yuck! Little worms in with the crix's. Are there these little beetles too? And what do these little worms look like? Do they look anything like this?

Who's your supplier? I heard Flukers is having a cleaner bug problem lately and my Pet Store I go to changed suppliers. All they got were more worms than crickets even if they changed their screen way.

I wouldn't worry about it, if anything they will help keep your bin clean. I personally don't like them but put up with them, as my local pet shop cricket supplier seems to have them with the crickets I get. The only thing I have noticed is they get in the way when you are trying to shake the egg cartons to get the crickets loose when feeding. A small inconvenience at best!

I still think little worms mixed with crix is disgusting. I hope I never have worms in my crix or Petsmart can take them back!!
