I recently rescued a neglected beardie and I wanna fatten her up. Just curious what insects will do this the quickest?

She is 14" in length.

Thanks!

Any kind of worm is good. Wax worms, hornworms, super worms, butterworms.

I rescued a girl 3 weeks ago that was super skinny. I was feeding her crickets for the first week and slowly introduced supers because i didn't want to upset her stomach. Now she's been eating just supers and hornworms and in 3 weeks she's gained 77g! The other plus too is her poops are better after taking her off crickets.

We have been feeding crickets and wax worms. I ordered some supers just the other day, still waiting on their arrival. Sounds like I'm on the right track, thanks for the input!
