Wax worms, butter worms, horn worms are good treats.

 

[Laark]

aren't they too big for a beardie?

Horn worms...too big unless beardie is fully grown, they're huge. Wax and butter worms are smaller 1/2-1 inch long depending. IMO a good treat if you're tryin to get veggies and fruit in her might be butternut squash. Too many worms might spoil her and she may not want her crickets. Look on the Nutrition Chart for some other tasty sounding "occasional" veggie items

Here were I am from have access to different size horn worms. Small med large and xl. Figured same would be the same else where.

 

[Luvthemanimal]

Same with silk worms which are a good staple diet but are expensive here anyway

 

[atochats]

Mmmm I didn't know they came in so many sizes my bad

 

[Laark]

If your petsmart has butter worms your one lucky girl. I have to order mine threw a 3rd party and they can't get any right now due to weather and that they come from China. Also r stupid expensive.

With my last beardie Banyon I used to get them in the bait section at Walmart...is that bad should I not have gotten them there? I got wax worms there too they were usually super fat and nice looking.

Hey wherever you can get em.... I had no idea Walmart carried em.

just fed chief andshe looks a little....fat. she's using the bathroom regularly (almost the exact same time every day, with healthy...LARGE poops.) so I dont think she's impacted or anything. just....fat? maybe? I can't be sure, as Ive never actually held a beardie until I held chief. Nor have I seen a fat beardie vs. skinny, or healthy?

 

[Luvthemanimal]

Definitely not fat.

This is though lol.

 

[Luvthemanimal]

Yours looks very healthy

 

[Laark]

good x.x i was worried.

i just picked up some veggies though.

turnip greens, collard greens, romaine lettuce, bok choy, and grapes! (the grapes are for me though ) as well as the weekly crickets, and acorn and butternut squash. now...how do i cook squash XD I can find the recipes for spiced squash, but I dont think thats what i want.

 

[Luvthemanimal]

I chop mine really small or shred it with a cheese shredder.

Also keep in mind that Romaine lettuce has ZERO nutritional value to them. So don't make it a staple veggie.

 

[Luvthemanimal]

General idea

 

[Laark]

I used a puree thing x.x but they ended up about that size =) her crickets at least wont starve....even if she still refuses to touch any of it XD

 

[atochats]

You cook the squash?

 

[Laark]

not yet. My mother is in the kitchen cooking. But i did take care of the crickets. they get fed tons of different things x,x also, my mom bought me a mango for chief and her crickets, but im not sure if they can eat mangos?
