My little Lizzy

[Choppa]

Hello my name is Alyssa. This is Lizzy, my Christmas present! I have had her for 4 1/2 months now and she has been eating a variety of greens (salads) and different types of worms. I am concerned that she may be getting a little plump. She eats about 15-20 super worms a day plus a salad. It doesn't seem she eats as much as other juvenile dragons I have read about. What do you think?

Super worms have a high fat content and in my opinion should be a treat.

Hmm, I thought only the wax worms were to be used as a treat, but I see the Super worms are pretty high too. I guess I'll go back to Phoenix worms for awhile. Thank you for posting this chart, it really helps

Yep superworms are high in fat and they love them supers..some love them soo much that they will refuse other live holding out for supers... so always good to offer a variety of bugs when you can..and of course with the greens everyday..
Getting a little belly but not bad

Super worms are high in fat but fed as a balanced diet should be okay. I use super worms but I switch them up with dubia, hornworms and silkworms. Variety is the key.

Great info. I do have Dubia Roaches and try to alternate. Thank you all.

Yep my main feeder is Dubia and I add in Supers with waxworms, butterworms as treats.

The main issue with supers are their high phosphate to calcium ratio. They should be dusted every time you feed them to your beardie.
